Abstract
The Poisson–Boltzmann equation (PBE) is a fundamental implicit solvent continuum model for calculating the electrostatic potential of large ionic solvated biomolecules. However, its numerical solution encounters severe challenges arising from its strong singularity and nonlinearity. In (P. Benner, V. Khoromskaia, B. Khoromskij, C. Kweyu, and M. Stein, “Regularization of Poisson-Boltzmann type equations with singular source terms using the range-separated tensor format,” SIAM J. Sci. Comput., vol. 43, no. 1, pp. A415–A445, 2021; C. Kweyu, V. Khoromskaia, B. Khoromskij, M. Stein, and P. Benner, “Solution decomposition for the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation using the range-separated tensor format,” arXiv:2109.14073, 2021), the effect of strong singularities was eliminated by applying the range-separated (RS) canonical tensor format (P. Benner, V. Khoromskaia, and B. N. Khoromskij, “Range-separated tensor format for many-particle modeling,” SIAM J. Sci. Comput., vol. 40, no. 2, pp. A1034–A1062, 2018; B. N. Khoromskij, “Range-separated tensor representation of the discretized multidimensional Dirac delta and elliptic operator inverse,” J. Comput. Phys., vol. 401, p. 108998, 2020) to construct a solution decomposition scheme for the PBE. The RS tensor format allows deriving a smooth approximation to the Dirac delta distribution in order to obtain a regularized PBE (RPBE) model. However, solving the RPBE is still computationally demanding due to its high dimension
