Disorder and denaturation transition in the generalized Poland-Scheraga model
Quentin Berger, Giambattista Giacomin, Maha Khatib
We investigate the generalized Poland-Scheraga model, which is used in the bio-physical literature to model the DNA denaturation transition, in the case where the two strands are a…

DNA melting structures in the generalized Poland-Scheraga model
Quentin Berger, Giambattista Giacomin, Maha Khatib
The Poland-Scheraga model for DNA denaturation, besides playing a central role in applications, has been widely studied in the physical and mathematical literature over the past de…

Generalized Poland-Scheraga denaturation model and two-dimensional renewal processes
Giambattista Giacomin, Maha Khatib
The Poland-Scheraga model describes the denaturation transition of two complementary - in particular, equally long - strands of DNA, and it has enjoyed a remarkable success both fo…
