Varying the resolution of the Rouse model on temporal and spatial scales: application to multiscale modelling of DNA dynamics

A multi-resolution bead-spring model for polymer dynamics is developed as a generalization of the Rouse model. A polymer chain is described using beads of variable sizes connected by springs with variable spring constants. A numerical scheme which can use different timesteps to advance the positions...
