The Mathematical Basis for Molecular van der Waals Forces
Ridgway Scott
Departments of Computer Science and Mathematics, University of Chicago
Abstract:
The electric force is the primary force in protein biology. We will clarify how the van der Waals force can be seen as an induced electric force. We derive a novel equation whose solution gives the asymptotic behavior of the London dispersion force that is one of the forces known as a van der Waals force. We discuss numerical techniques for solving equations of this type using standard finite element ideas.
