Abstract

The general formalism describing polyelectrolyte behavior in presence of sequence disorder is presented. The Edwards and Poisson–Boltzmann equations are obtained. The possible effect of the boundary conditions is discussed. Comparison between replica and constrained annealing approaches is made.
