Abstract
A simple iterative method is devised for solving the nonlinear Poisson -Boltzmann equation. The method is based on the integral representatio n of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation and can be readily implemented for determining the potential and charge density around particles of vari ous shapes. As an illustrative example the method is applied for compu ting the potential and surface charge density of the spherical double layer. (C) 1997 Academic Press.
