説明

<p>The Rouse-Ham model is a simple yet useful dynamics model for an unentangled branched polymer. In this work, we study the normal modes of the Rouse-Ham type coarse-grained symmetric star polymer model. We model a star polymer by connecting multiple arm beads to a center bead by harmonic springs. In the Rouse-Ham model, the dynamics of the bead positions can be decomposed into the normal modes, which are chosen to be orthogonal to each other. Due to the existence of degenerate eigenvalues, the eigenmodes do not directly correspond to the normal modes. We propose several methods to construct the normal modes for the coarse- grained symmetric star polymer model. We show that we can construct the normal modes by using a simple permutation or the Hadamard matrix. These methods give simple and highly symmetric orthogonal modes, but work just for a special number of arms. We also show that we can construct the normal modes by using the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) matrix. This method is applicable for an arbitrary number of arms.</p>
