Abstract
Functional techniques have proven to be very powerful tools in the treatment of integro-differential equations which rule the dynamics of crystallographic structures or of the Free Electron Laser (FEL), allowing for a derivation of the relevant solutions in closed form by means of Bessel-Clifford functions of half-integer order which are easily computable. Therefore, this approach coupled to algebraic methods can be extended to other physical and biochemical fields, where the dynamics of the condensed-matter system is determined by integro-differential equations of Volterra type, satisfying very general conditions, thus allowing calculations that are otherwise both complex and cumbersome. This paper shows that it is possible to reduce very complex problems such as those of protein folding or polymer/dendrimer dynamics to a series of manageable steps, starting from the description of fundamental structural patterns to their mutual interaction and the computation of the dynamics up to the formation of the final equilibrated 3D structure.
