Convergence of a diffuse interface Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) model to the sharp interface PB model: A unified regularization formulation

作者:

Highlights:

• This work concerns with the convergence of a diffuse interface PB model to the sharp interface PB model.

• The convergences for both the reaction-field potential and electrostatic free energy are rigorously proved.

• This study provides a unified regularization for both sharp interface and diffuse interface PB models.
