We review results concerning the critical behavior of spin systems at equilibrium. We
consider the Ising and the general O (N)-symmetric universality classes, including the N→ 0 …

General principles of protein structure, stability, and folding kinetics have recently been
explored in computer simulations of simple exact lattice models. These models represent …

More than ten years have passed now since the first printing of this book, and I am happy to
say that it is a success. Many thousands of volumes can today be found worldwide in …

The Equilibrium Theory of Inhomogeneous Polymers provides an introduction to the field-
theoretic methods and computer simulation techniques that are used in the design of …

Tethered polymer chains refers to macromolecular chains that are attached into
microstructures by their ends. Highly branched polymers, polymer micelles and end-grafted …

Dilute and semi-dilute solution properties of several classes of branched macromolecules
are outlined and discussed. The dilute solution properties are needed for a control of the …

The Kremer–Grest (KG) polymer model is a standard model for studying generic polymer
properties in molecular dynamics simulations. It owes its popularity to its simplicity and …

We review a class of new computer simulation methods for polymeric fluids and other soft
condensed matter systems that are based on an underlying field-theoretic description …

The classical Fourier transform is one of the most widely used mathematical tools in
engineering. However, few engineers know that extensions of harmonic analysis to …

We carefully examine common measures of dynamical heterogeneity for a model polymer
melt and test how these scales compare with those hypothesized by the Adam and Gibbs …
