Study of nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation for a rodlike macromolecule using the pseudo-spectral method

The pseudo-spectral method with the Chebyshev and Legendre polynomials are used in order to compute the electric potential for a rodlike macromolecule located in salt free solution via the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE). Afterwards, verification of the method is demonstrated for a long macromolecu...
