Affine iterations of the form x n+1 =Ax n +b converge, using real arithmetic, if spectral radius matrix A is less than 1. However, substituting interval arithmetic to may lead divergence these iterations, in particular absolute value greater We will review different approaches limit overestimation iterates, when components initial vector x(0) and b are intervals. compare, both theoretically exp...

Composites of extracellular matrix proteins reinforced with carbon nanotubes have the potential to be used as conductive biopolymers in a variety of biomaterial applications. In this study, the effect of functionalization and polymer wrapping on the dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in aqueous media was examined. Carboxylated MWCNT were wrapped in either Pluronic(®) F127 or gel...

– We investigate numerically and on the scaling level the adsorption of a charged colloid on an oppositely charged flexible membrane. We show that the long ranged character of the electrostatic interaction leads to a wrapping reentrance of the complex as the salt concentration is varied. The membrane wrapping depends on the size of the colloid and on the salt concentration and only for intermed...
