NS CPMG 2-site expanded

The relaxation dispersion model for the numeric solution (NS) to the Bloch-McConnell equations for SQ CPMG-type data. This uses the Maple expanded and fast equations from Nikolai Skrynnikov. The model is labelled as NS CPMG 2-site expanded in relax.

This type of model can be called silico derived, as it is a computer-assisted derivation for the equivalent computations, of the much more expensive numerical matrix-form.

This function is exact, just as the explicit Bloch-McConnell numerical treatments. It comes from a Maple derivation based on the Bloch-McConnell equations. It is much faster than the numerical Bloch-McConnell solution. It was derived by Nikolai Skrynnikov and is provided with his permission.

Parameters

The NS CPMG 2-site expanded model has the parameters {$R_2^0$, $...$, $p_A$, $\Delta\omega$, $k_{ex}$}.
