Error Analysis of Virtual Element Method for the Poisson-Boltzmann Equation (2307.07799v1)

Published 15 Jul 2023 in math.NA and cs.NA

Abstract: The Poisson-Boltzmann equation is a nonlinear elliptic equation with Dirac distribution sources, which has been widely applied to the prediction of electrostatics potential of biological biomolecular systems in solution. In this paper, we discuss and analysis the virtual element method for the Poisson-Boltzmann equation on general polyhedral meshes. Under the low regularity of the solution of the whole domain, nearly optimal error estimates in both L2-norm and H1-norm for the virtual element approximation are obtained. The numerical experiment on different polyhedral meshes shows the efficiency of the virtual element method and verifies the proposed theoretical prediction.
