Dynamical models of molecular chains and efficient integration algorithms

Chains of point masses and chains of rigid bodies are used to model biological polymers. To investigate their dynamics we propose a method which allows an efficient realization of the constraints jointly with a simple and accurate integration of the free rigid body motion. The method is quite effect...
