In numerical simulations of many charged systems at the micro/nano scale, a common theme is the repeated solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. This task proves challenging, if not entirely infeasible, largely due to the nonlinearity of the equation and the high dimensionality of the physical and parametric domains with the latter emulating the system configuration. In this paper, we for the first time adapt a mathematically rigorous and computationally efficient model order reduction paradigm, the so-called reduced basis method (RBM), to mitigate this challenge. We adopt a finite difference method as the mandatory underlying scheme to produce the {em truth approximations} of the RBM upon which the fast algorithm is built and its performance is measured against. Numerical tests presented in this paper demonstrate the high efficiency and accuracy of the fast algorithm, the reliability of its error estimation, as well as its capability in effectively capturing the boundary layer.
Linear kinetic transport equations play a critical role in optical tomography, radiative transfer and neutron transport. The fundamental difficulty hampering their efficient and accurate numerical resolution lies in the high dimensionality of the phy
The Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE) models the electrostatic interactions of charged bodies such as molecules and proteins in an electrolyte solvent. The PBE is a challenging equation to solve numerically due to the presence of singularities, discon
The Poisson-Boltzmann equation is a widely used model to study the electrostatics in molecular solvation. Its numerical solution using a boundary integral formulation requires a mesh on the molecular surface only, yielding accurate representations of
We propose and test the first Reduced Radial Basis Function Method (R$^2$BFM) for solving parametric partial differential equations on irregular domains. The two major ingredients are a stable Radial Basis Function (RBF) solver that has an optimized
This work further improves the pseudo-transient approach for the Poisson Boltzmann equation (PBE) in the electrostatic analysis of solvated biomolecules. The numerical solution of the nonlinear PBE is known to involve many difficulties, such as expon
