By focusing on essential features, while averaging over less important details, coarse-
grained (CG) models provide significant computational and conceptual advantages with …

In this review, we focus on four current related issues in multiscale modeling of soft and
biological matter. First, we discuss how to use structural information from detailed models (or …

Neutron and x-ray diffraction are widely used to measure the structure of liquids and
disordered solids. Using techniques such as isotope substitution or anomalous dispersion or …

This is the background against which the present Volume has come into being. It has, for
reasons expounded above, much greater breadth than our two earlier Volumes. We feel as …

We map dilute or semidilute solutions of nonintersecting polymer chains onto a fluid of “soft”
particles interacting via a concentration dependent effective pair potential, by inverting the …

Dilute or semidilute solutions of nonintersecting self-avoiding walk (SAW) polymer chains
are mapped onto a fluid of “soft” particles interacting via an effective pair potential between …

A statistical mechanical framework elucidates the significance of structural correlations
between coarse-grained (CG) sites in the multiscale coarse-graining (MS-CG) method …

Systematic construction of coarse-grained molecular models from detailed atomistic
simulations, and even from ab initio simulations is discussed. Atomistic simulations are first …

In this study we explore a systematic procedure to coarsen a microscopic model towards a
mesoscopic model. The procedure is applied to a system of chains of ten beads …
