500 liquid state configurations were generated as described in the Methods section using the SPC/E model of water.\cite{Berendsen87} The results for the energy gap comparisons and the force and torque vector magnitude comparisons are shown in table \ref{tab:spceMag}. The force and torque vector directionality results are displayed separately in table \ref{tab:spceAng}, where the effect of group-based cutoffs and switching functions on the {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} potentials are investigated. |

Unless there is a significant change in result in any of the further systems, we are going to neglect to comment on the pure cutoff (PC) system. It is unreasonable to expect it to perform well in either energetic or dynamic studies using molecular groups, as evidenced in previous studies and in the results displayed here and in the rest of this paper.\cite{Adams79,Steinbach94} In contrast to PC, the {\sc sp} method shows variety in the results. In the weakly and undamped cases, the results are poor for both the energy gap and dynamics, and this is not surprising considering the energy oscillations observed by Wolf {\it et al.} and the discontinuity in the forces discussed in the main portion of this paper.\cite{Wolf99} Long cutoff radii, moderate damping, or a combination of the two are required for {\sc sp} to perform respectably. With a cutoff greater than 12 \AA\ and $\alpha$ of 0.2 \AA$^{-1}$, {\sc sp} provides result right in line with SPME. |
88 |

The {\sc sf} method displays energetic and dynamic results very similar to SPME under undamped to moderately damped conditions. The quality seems to degrade in the overdamped case ($\alpha = 0.3 \AA^{-1}$) to values identical to {\sc sp}, so it is important not to get carried away with the use of damping. A cutoff radius choice of 12 \AA\ or higher is recommended, primarily due to the energy gap results of interest in Monte Carlo (MC) calculations. |

The group switched cutoff (GSC) and reaction field (RF) methods seem to have very similar behavior, with the preference given to RF for the improved energy gap results. Neither mimics the energetics of SPME as well as the {\sc sp} (with moderate damping) and {\sc sf} methods, and the results seem relatively independent of cutoff radius. The dynamics for both methods, however, are quite good. Both methods utilize switching functions, which correct and discontinuities in the potential and forces, a possible reason for the improved results. It is interesting to compare the PC with the GSC cases, and recognize the significant improvement that group based cutoffs and switching functions provide. This as been recognized in previous studies,\cite{Andrea83,Steinbach94} and is a useful tactic for stably incorporating local area electrostatic effects. |

It is also worth noting that {\sc rf} exhibits improved energy gap |
301 |
+ |
results over the liquid water system. One possible explanation is |
302 |
+ |
that the ice I$_\textrm{c}$ crystal is ordered such that the net |
303 |
+ |
dipole moment of the crystal is zero. With $\epsilon_\textrm{S} = |
304 |
+ |
\infty$, the reaction field incorporates this structural organization |
305 |

by actively enforcing a zeroed dipole moment within each cutoff |
306 |

sphere. |

The molten NaCl system shows more sensitivity to the electrostatic |

undamped {\sc sf} method does very well at replicating the {\sc spme} |

configurational energy differences and forces. Light damping appears |
382 |

to minimally improve the dynamics, but this comes with a deterioration |
383 |

of the energy gap results. In contrast, this light damping improves |
384 |

the {\sc sp} energy gaps and forces. Moderate and heavy electrostatic |
385 |

damping reduce the agreement with {\sc spme} for both methods. From |

these observations, the undamped {\sc sf} method is the best choice |

A 1000K NaCl crystal was used to investigate the accuracy of the |

pairwise summation methods in an ordered system of charged |

particles. The results for the energy gap comparisons and the force |

The crystalline NaCl system is the most challenging test case for the |
467 |

pairwise summation methods, as evidenced by the results in tables |
468 |
> |
\ref{tab:salt} and \ref{tab:saltAng}. The undamped and weakly damped |

{\sc sf} methods with a 12 \AA\ cutoff radius seem to be the best |
470 |

choices. These methods match well with {\sc spme} across the energy |
471 |

gap, force magnitude, and force directionality tests. The {\sc sp} |
472 |

method struggles in all cases, with the exception of good dynamics |
473 |

reproduction when using weak electrostatic damping with a large cutoff |

radius. |
475 |
|
|
476 |
+ |
The moderate electrostatic damping case is not as good as we would |
477 |
+ |
expect given the long-time dynamics results observed for this |
478 |
+ |
system. Since the data tabulated in tables \ref{tab:salt} and |
479 |
+ |
\ref{tab:saltAng} are a test of instantaneous dynamics, this indicates |
480 |
+ |
that good long-time dynamics comes in part at the expense of |
481 |
+ |
short-time dynamics. |

In an effort to bridge the charged atomic and neutral molecular |

the liquid water system. This low ionic strength system consists of 4 |

This system does not appear to show any significant deviations from |
830 |
+ |
the previously observed results. The {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods |
831 |
+ |
have aggrements similar to those observed in section |
832 |
+ |
\ref{app:water}. The only significant difference is the improvement |
833 |
+ |
in the configuration energy differences for the {\sc rf} method. This |
834 |
+ |
is surprising in that we are introducing an inhomogeneity to the |
835 |
+ |
system; however, this inhomogeneity is charge-neutral and does not |
836 |
+ |
result in charged cutoff spheres. The charge-neutrality of the cutoff |
837 |
+ |
spheres, which the {\sc sp} and {\sc sf} methods explicitly enforce, |
838 |
+ |
seems to play a greater role in the stability of the {\sc rf} method |
839 |
+ |
than the required homogeneity of the environment. |
