Notes:
A computational methodology for calculating the spatial distribution of average electrolyte ion density in the presence of a polyelectrolyte macroion is presented. The method makes use of an iterative solution technique previously applied to solve the three-dimensional Poisson-Boltzmann equation. Criteria are developed for determining the regions in space at which the Poisson-Boltzmann approximation fails. In these regions the formal series of sums of products describing the local probability densities is constructed. Accurate approximations to the series are developed. The result is a computationally feasible method that avoids the inaccuracies of Poisson-Boltzmann theory.
