\subsection{\label{introSection:ensemble}Phase Space and Ensemble} |
| 228 |

|
| 229 |

Mathematically, phase space is the space which represents all |
| 230 |
> |
possible states. Each possible state of the system corresponds to |
| 231 |
> |
one unique point in the phase space. For mechanical systems, the |
| 232 |
> |
phase space usually consists of all possible values of position and |
| 233 |
> |
momentum variables. Consider a dynamic system in a cartesian space, |
| 234 |
> |
where each of the $6f$ coordinates and momenta is assigned to one of |
| 235 |
> |
$6f$ mutually orthogonal axes, the phase space of this system is a |
| 236 |
> |
$6f$ dimensional space. A point, $x = (q_1 , \ldots ,q_f ,p_1 , |
| 237 |
> |
\ldots ,p_f )$, with a unique set of values of $6f$ coordinates and |
| 238 |
> |
momenta is a phase space vector. |
| 239 |
> |
|
| 240 |
> |
A microscopic state or microstate of a classical system is |
| 241 |
> |
specification of the complete phase space vector of a system at any |
| 242 |
> |
instant in time. An ensemble is defined as a collection of systems |
| 243 |
> |
sharing one or more macroscopic characteristics but each being in a |
| 244 |
> |
unique microstate. The complete ensemble is specified by giving all |
| 245 |
> |
systems or microstates consistent with the common macroscopic |
| 246 |
> |
characteristics of the ensemble. Although the state of each |
| 247 |
> |
individual system in the ensemble could be precisely described at |
| 248 |
> |
any instance in time by a suitable phase space vector, when using |
| 249 |
> |
ensembles for statistical purposes, there is no need to maintain |
| 250 |
> |
distinctions between individual systems, since the numbers of |
| 251 |
> |
systems at any time in the different states which correspond to |
| 252 |
> |
different regions of the phase space are more interesting. Moreover, |
| 253 |
> |
in the point of view of statistical mechanics, one would prefer to |
| 254 |
> |
use ensembles containing a large enough population of separate |
| 255 |
> |
members so that the numbers of systems in such different states can |
| 256 |
> |
be regarded as changing continuously as we traverse different |
| 257 |
> |
regions of the phase space. The condition of an ensemble at any time |
| 258 |
> |
can be regarded as appropriately specified by the density $\rho$ |
| 259 |
> |
with which representative points are distributed over the phase |
| 260 |
> |
space. The density of distribution for an ensemble with $f$ degrees |
| 261 |
> |
of freedom is defined as, |
| 262 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 263 |
> |
\rho = \rho (q_1 , \ldots ,q_f ,p_1 , \ldots ,p_f ,t). |
| 264 |
> |
\label{introEquation:densityDistribution} |
| 265 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 266 |
> |
Governed by the principles of mechanics, the phase points change |
| 267 |
> |
their value which would change the density at any time at phase |
| 268 |
> |
space. Hence, the density of distribution is also to be taken as a |
| 269 |
> |
function of the time. |
| 270 |
> |
|
| 271 |
> |
The number of systems $\delta N$ at time $t$ can be determined by, |
| 272 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 273 |
> |
\delta N = \rho (q,p,t)dq_1 \ldots dq_f dp_1 \ldots dp_f. |
| 274 |
> |
\label{introEquation:deltaN} |
| 275 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 276 |
> |
Assuming a large enough population of systems are exploited, we can |
| 277 |
> |
sufficiently approximate $\delta N$ without introducing |
| 278 |
> |
discontinuity when we go from one region in the phase space to |
| 279 |
> |
another. By integrating over the whole phase space, |
| 280 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 281 |
> |
N = \int { \ldots \int {\rho (q,p,t)dq_1 } ...dq_f dp_1 } ...dp_f |
| 282 |
> |
\label{introEquation:totalNumberSystem} |
| 283 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 284 |
> |
gives us an expression for the total number of the systems. Hence, |
| 285 |
> |
the probability per unit in the phase space can be obtained by, |
| 286 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 287 |
> |
\frac{{\rho (q,p,t)}}{N} = \frac{{\rho (q,p,t)}}{{\int { \ldots \int |
| 288 |
> |
{\rho (q,p,t)dq_1 } ...dq_f dp_1 } ...dp_f }}. |
| 289 |
> |
\label{introEquation:unitProbability} |
| 290 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 291 |
> |
With the help of Equation(\ref{introEquation:unitProbability}) and |
| 292 |
> |
the knowledge of the system, it is possible to calculate the average |
| 293 |
> |
value of any desired quantity which depends on the coordinates and |
| 294 |

momenta of the system. Even when the dynamics of the real system is |

complex, or stochastic, or even discontinuous, the average |
| 296 |

properties of the ensemble of possibilities as a whole may still |
| 297 |

remain well defined. For a classical system in thermal equilibrium |
| 298 |

with its environment, the ensemble average of a mechanical quantity, |

$\langle A(q , p) \rangle_t$, takes the form of an integral over the |

phase space of the system, |

\begin{equation} |

There are several different types of ensembles with different |
| 309 |
+ |
statistical characteristics. As a function of macroscopic |
| 310 |
+ |
parameters, such as temperature \textit{etc}, partition function can |
| 311 |
+ |
be used to describe the statistical properties of a system in |
| 312 |
+ |
thermodynamic equilibrium. |
| 313 |
+ |
|
| 314 |
+ |
As an ensemble of systems, each of which is known to be thermally |
| 315 |
+ |
isolated and conserve energy, Microcanonical ensemble(NVE) has a |
| 316 |
+ |
partition function like, |
| 317 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 318 |
+ |
\Omega (N,V,E) = e^{\beta TS} \label{introEquation:NVEPartition}. |
| 319 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 320 |
+ |
A canonical ensemble(NVT)is an ensemble of systems, each of which |
| 321 |
+ |
can share its energy with a large heat reservoir. The distribution |
| 322 |
+ |
of the total energy amongst the possible dynamical states is given |
| 323 |
+ |
by the partition function, |
| 324 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 325 |
+ |
\Omega (N,V,T) = e^{ - \beta A} |
| 326 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:NVTPartition} |
| 327 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 328 |
+ |
Here, $A$ is the Helmholtz free energy which is defined as $ A = U - |
| 329 |
+ |
TS$. Since most experiment are carried out under constant pressure |
| 330 |
+ |
condition, isothermal-isobaric ensemble(NPT) play a very important |
| 331 |
+ |
role in molecular simulation. The isothermal-isobaric ensemble allow |
| 332 |
+ |
the system to exchange energy with a heat bath of temperature $T$ |
| 333 |
+ |
and to change the volume as well. Its partition function is given as |
| 334 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 335 |
+ |
\Delta (N,P,T) = - e^{\beta G}. |
| 336 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:NPTPartition} |
| 337 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 338 |
+ |
Here, $G = U - TS + PV$, and $G$ is called Gibbs free energy. |

\subsection{\label{introSection:liouville}Liouville's theorem} |
| 341 |
+ |
|
| 342 |
+ |
The Liouville's theorem is the foundation on which statistical |
| 343 |
+ |
mechanics rests. It describes the time evolution of phase space |
| 344 |
+ |
distribution function. In order to calculate the rate of change of |
| 345 |
+ |
$\rho$, we begin from Equation(\ref{introEquation:deltaN}). If we |
| 346 |
+ |
consider the two faces perpendicular to the $q_1$ axis, which are |
| 347 |
+ |
located at $q_1$ and $q_1 + \delta q_1$, the number of phase points |
| 348 |
+ |
leaving the opposite face is given by the expression, |
| 349 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 350 |
+ |
\left( {\rho + \frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial q_1 }}\delta q_1 } |
| 351 |
+ |
\right)\left( {\dot q_1 + \frac{{\partial \dot q_1 }}{{\partial q_1 |
| 352 |
+ |
}}\delta q_1 } \right)\delta q_2 \ldots \delta q_f \delta p_1 |
| 353 |
+ |
\ldots \delta p_f . |
| 354 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 355 |
+ |
Summing all over the phase space, we obtain |
| 356 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 357 |
+ |
\frac{{d(\delta N)}}{{dt}} = - \sum\limits_{i = 1}^f {\left[ {\rho |
| 358 |
+ |
\left( {\frac{{\partial \dot q_i }}{{\partial q_i }} + |
| 359 |
+ |
\frac{{\partial \dot p_i }}{{\partial p_i }}} \right) + \left( |
| 360 |
+ |
{\frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial q_i }}\dot q_i + \frac{{\partial |
| 361 |
+ |
\rho }}{{\partial p_i }}\dot p_i } \right)} \right]} \delta q_1 |
| 362 |
+ |
\ldots \delta q_f \delta p_1 \ldots \delta p_f . |
| 363 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 364 |
+ |
Differentiating the equations of motion in Hamiltonian formalism |
| 365 |
+ |
(\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianCoordinate}, |
| 366 |
+ |
\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianMomentum}), we can show, |
| 367 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 368 |
+ |
\sum\limits_i {\left( {\frac{{\partial \dot q_i }}{{\partial q_i }} |
| 369 |
+ |
+ \frac{{\partial \dot p_i }}{{\partial p_i }}} \right)} = 0 , |
| 370 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 371 |
+ |
which cancels the first terms of the right hand side. Furthermore, |
| 372 |
+ |
divining $ \delta q_1 \ldots \delta q_f \delta p_1 \ldots \delta |
| 373 |
+ |
p_f $ in both sides, we can write out Liouville's theorem in a |
| 374 |
+ |
simple form, |
| 375 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 376 |
+ |
\frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial t}} + \sum\limits_{i = 1}^f |
| 377 |
+ |
{\left( {\frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial q_i }}\dot q_i + |
| 378 |
+ |
\frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial p_i }}\dot p_i } \right)} = 0 . |
| 379 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:liouvilleTheorem} |
| 380 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 381 |
+ |
|
| 382 |
+ |
Liouville's theorem states that the distribution function is |
| 383 |
+ |
constant along any trajectory in phase space. In classical |
| 384 |
+ |
statistical mechanics, since the number of particles in the system |
| 385 |
+ |
is huge, we may be able to believe the system is stationary, |
| 386 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 387 |
+ |
\frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial t}} = 0. |
| 388 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:stationary} |
| 389 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 390 |
+ |
In such stationary system, the density of distribution $\rho$ can be |
| 391 |
+ |
connected to the Hamiltonian $H$ through Maxwell-Boltzmann |
| 392 |
+ |
distribution, |
| 393 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 394 |
+ |
\rho \propto e^{ - \beta H} |
| 395 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:densityAndHamiltonian} |
| 396 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 397 |
+ |
|
| 398 |
+ |
\subsubsection{\label{introSection:phaseSpaceConservation}Conservation of Phase Space} |
| 399 |
+ |
Lets consider a region in the phase space, |
| 400 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 401 |
+ |
\delta v = \int { \ldots \int {dq_1 } ...dq_f dp_1 } ..dp_f . |
| 402 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 403 |
+ |
If this region is small enough, the density $\rho$ can be regarded |
| 404 |
+ |
as uniform over the whole phase space. Thus, the number of phase |
| 405 |
+ |
points inside this region is given by, |
| 406 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 407 |
+ |
\delta N = \rho \delta v = \rho \int { \ldots \int {dq_1 } ...dq_f |
| 408 |
+ |
dp_1 } ..dp_f. |
| 409 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 410 |
+ |
|
| 411 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 412 |
+ |
\frac{{d(\delta N)}}{{dt}} = \frac{{d\rho }}{{dt}}\delta v + \rho |
| 413 |
+ |
\frac{d}{{dt}}(\delta v) = 0. |
| 414 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 415 |
+ |
With the help of stationary assumption |
| 416 |
+ |
(\ref{introEquation:stationary}), we obtain the principle of the |
| 417 |
+ |
\emph{conservation of extension in phase space}, |
| 418 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 419 |
+ |
\frac{d}{{dt}}(\delta v) = \frac{d}{{dt}}\int { \ldots \int {dq_1 } |
| 420 |
+ |
...dq_f dp_1 } ..dp_f = 0. |
| 421 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:volumePreserving} |

+ |
\subsubsection{\label{introSection:liouvilleInOtherForms}Liouville's Theorem in Other Forms} |
| 425 |
+ |
|
| 426 |
+ |
Liouville's theorem can be expresses in a variety of different forms |
| 427 |
+ |
which are convenient within different contexts. For any two function |
| 428 |
+ |
$F$ and $G$ of the coordinates and momenta of a system, the Poisson |
| 429 |
+ |
bracket ${F, G}$ is defined as |
| 430 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 431 |
+ |
\left\{ {F,G} \right\} = \sum\limits_i {\left( {\frac{{\partial |
| 432 |
+ |
F}}{{\partial q_i }}\frac{{\partial G}}{{\partial p_i }} - |
| 433 |
+ |
\frac{{\partial F}}{{\partial p_i }}\frac{{\partial G}}{{\partial |
| 434 |
+ |
q_i }}} \right)}. |
| 435 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:poissonBracket} |
| 436 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 437 |
+ |
Substituting equations of motion in Hamiltonian formalism( |
| 438 |
+ |
\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianCoordinate} , |
| 439 |
+ |
\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianMomentum} ) into |
| 440 |
+ |
(\ref{introEquation:liouvilleTheorem}), we can rewrite Liouville's |
| 441 |
+ |
theorem using Poisson bracket notion, |
| 442 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 443 |
+ |
\left( {\frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial t}}} \right) = - \left\{ |
| 444 |
+ |
{\rho ,H} \right\}. |
| 445 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:liouvilleTheromInPoissin} |
| 446 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 447 |
+ |
Moreover, the Liouville operator is defined as |
| 448 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 449 |
+ |
iL = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^f {\left( {\frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial |
| 450 |
+ |
p_i }}\frac{\partial }{{\partial q_i }} - \frac{{\partial |
| 451 |
+ |
H}}{{\partial q_i }}\frac{\partial }{{\partial p_i }}} \right)} |
| 452 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:liouvilleOperator} |
| 453 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 454 |
+ |
In terms of Liouville operator, Liouville's equation can also be |
| 455 |
+ |
expressed as |
| 456 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 457 |
+ |
\left( {\frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial t}}} \right) = - iL\rho |
| 458 |

Various thermodynamic properties can be calculated from Molecular |

A variety of numerical integrators were proposed to simulate the |

f(r) = J\nabla _x H(r) |

f(r) = J\nabla _x H(r). |

$H = H (q, p)$ is Hamiltonian function and $J$ is the skew-symmetric |

The most obvious change being that matrix $J$ now depends on $x$. |

|
Let $x(t)$ be the exact solution of the ODE system, |
| 577 |
|
\begin{equation} |
| 578 |
|
\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = f(x) \label{introEquation:ODE} |
| 582 |
|
x(t+\tau) =\varphi_\tau(x(t)) |
| 583 |
|
\] |
| 584 |
|
where $\tau$ is a fixed time step and $\varphi$ is a map from phase |
| 585 |
< |
space to itself. In most cases, it is not easy to find the exact |
| 586 |
< |
flow $\varphi_\tau$. Instead, we use a approximate map, $\psi_\tau$, |
| 587 |
< |
which is usually called integrator. The order of an integrator |
| 588 |
< |
$\psi_\tau$ is $p$, if the Taylor series of $\psi_\tau$ agree to |
| 589 |
< |
order $p$, |
| 585 |
> |
space to itself. The flow has the continuous group property, |
| 586 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 587 |
> |
\varphi _{\tau _1 } \circ \varphi _{\tau _2 } = \varphi _{\tau _1 |
| 588 |
> |
+ \tau _2 } . |
| 589 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 590 |

In particular, |
| 591 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 592 |
> |
\varphi _\tau \circ \varphi _{ - \tau } = I |
| 593 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 594 |
> |
Therefore, the exact flow is self-adjoint, |
| 595 |
|
\begin{equation} |
| 596 |
+ |
\varphi _\tau = \varphi _{ - \tau }^{ - 1}. |
| 597 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 598 |
+ |
The exact flow can also be written in terms of the of an operator, |
| 599 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 600 |
+ |
\varphi _\tau (x) = e^{\tau \sum\limits_i {f_i (x)\frac{\partial |
| 601 |
+ |
}{{\partial x_i }}} } (x) \equiv \exp (\tau f)(x). |
| 602 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:exponentialOperator} |
| 603 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 604 |
+ |
|
| 605 |
+ |
In most cases, it is not easy to find the exact flow $\varphi_\tau$. |
| 606 |
+ |
Instead, we use a approximate map, $\psi_\tau$, which is usually |
| 607 |
+ |
called integrator. The order of an integrator $\psi_\tau$ is $p$, if |
| 608 |
+ |
the Taylor series of $\psi_\tau$ agree to order $p$, |
| 609 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 610 |
|
\psi_tau(x) = x + \tau f(x) + O(\tau^{p+1}) |
| 611 |

The hidden geometric properties of ODE and its flow play important |
| 616 |
< |
roles in numerical studies. The flow of a Hamiltonian vector field |
| 617 |
< |
on a symplectic manifold is a symplectomorphism. Let $\varphi$ be |
| 618 |
< |
the flow of Hamiltonian vector field, $\varphi$ is a |
| 619 |
< |
\emph{symplectic} flow if it satisfies, |
| 616 |

roles in numerical studies. Many of them can be found in systems |
| 617 |

which occur naturally in applications. |

Let $\varphi$ be the flow of Hamiltonian vector field, $\varphi$ is |

a \emph{symplectic} flow if it satisfies, |

\begin{equation} |

{\varphi '}^T J \varphi ' = J. |
| 623 |
|
\end{equation} |
| 624 |
|
According to Liouville's theorem, the symplectic volume is invariant |
| 625 |
|
under a Hamiltonian flow, which is the basis for classical |
| 626 |

statistical mechanics. As to the Poisson system, |

statistical mechanics. Furthermore, the flow of a Hamiltonian vector |

field on a symplectic manifold can be shown to be a |

symplectomorphism. As to the Poisson system, |

to construct a \emph{volume-preserving} flow for a source free($ |

The vector filed $f$ has reversing symmetry $h$ if $f = - \tilde f$. |
| 645 |

In other words, the flow of this vector field is reversible if and |

only if $ h \circ \varphi ^{ - 1} = \varphi \circ h $. When |

designing any numerical methods, one should always try to preserve |

A \emph{first integral}, or conserved quantity of a general |
| 649 |

differential function is a function $ G:R^{2d} \to R^d $ which is |
| 650 |

constant for all solutions of the ODE $\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = f(x)$ , |

\[ |

\frac{{dG(x(t))}}{{dt}} = 0. |

\] |
| 654 |

Using chain rule, one may obtain, |

\[ |

\sum\limits_i {\frac{{dG}}{{dx_i }}} f_i (x) = f \bullet \nabla G, |
| 657 |

\] |
| 658 |

which is the condition for conserving \emph{first integral}. For a |
| 659 |

canonical Hamiltonian system, the time evolution of an arbitrary |
| 660 |

smooth function $G$ is given by, |
| 661 |

\begin{equation} |
| 662 |

\begin{array}{c} |
| 663 |

\frac{{dG(x(t))}}{{dt}} = [\nabla _x G(x(t))]^T \dot x(t) \\ |
| 664 |

= [\nabla _x G(x(t))]^T J\nabla _x H(x(t)). \\ |

\end{array} |

\label{introEquation:firstIntegral1} |
| 667 |

\end{equation} |
| 668 |

Using poisson bracket notion, Equation |

\ref{introEquation:firstIntegral1} can be rewritten as |
| 670 |

\[ |
| 671 |

\frac{d}{{dt}}G(x(t)) = \left\{ {G,H} \right\}(x(t)). |
| 672 |

\] |
| 673 |

Therefore, the sufficient condition for $G$ to be the \emph{first |
| 674 |

integral} of a Hamiltonian system is |
| 675 |
> |
\[ |
| 676 |

\left\{ {G,H} \right\} = 0. |
| 677 |

\] |
| 678 |

As well known, the Hamiltonian (or energy) H of a Hamiltonian system |
| 679 |

is a \emph{first integral}, which is due to the fact $\{ H,H\} = |

0$. |

|
| 682 |

|
| 683 |

When designing any numerical methods, one should always try to |
| 684 |
+ |
preserve the structural properties of the original ODE and its flow. |
| 685 |
+ |
|
| 686 |
+ |
\subsection{\label{introSection:constructionSymplectic}Construction of Symplectic Methods} |
| 687 |
+ |
A lot of well established and very effective numerical methods have |
| 688 |
+ |
been successful precisely because of their symplecticities even |
| 689 |
+ |
though this fact was not recognized when they were first |
| 690 |
+ |
constructed. The most famous example is leapfrog methods in |
| 691 |
+ |
molecular dynamics. In general, symplectic integrators can be |
| 692 |
+ |
constructed using one of four different methods. |
| 693 |
+ |
\begin{enumerate} |
| 694 |
+ |
\item Generating functions |
| 695 |
+ |
\item Variational methods |
| 696 |
+ |
\item Runge-Kutta methods |
| 697 |
+ |
\item Splitting methods |
| 698 |
+ |
\end{enumerate} |
| 699 |
+ |
|
| 700 |
+ |
Generating function tends to lead to methods which are cumbersome |
| 701 |
+ |
and difficult to use. In dissipative systems, variational methods |
| 702 |
+ |
can capture the decay of energy accurately. Since their |
| 703 |
+ |
geometrically unstable nature against non-Hamiltonian perturbations, |
| 704 |
+ |
ordinary implicit Runge-Kutta methods are not suitable for |
| 705 |
+ |
Hamiltonian system. Recently, various high-order explicit |
| 706 |
+ |
Runge--Kutta methods have been developed to overcome this |
| 707 |
+ |
instability. However, due to computational penalty involved in |
| 708 |
+ |
implementing the Runge-Kutta methods, they do not attract too much |
| 709 |
+ |
attention from Molecular Dynamics community. Instead, splitting have |
| 710 |
+ |
been widely accepted since they exploit natural decompositions of |
| 711 |
+ |
the system\cite{Tuckerman92}. |
| 712 |
+ |
|
| 713 |
+ |
\subsubsection{\label{introSection:splittingMethod}Splitting Method} |
| 714 |
+ |
|
| 715 |
+ |
The main idea behind splitting methods is to decompose the discrete |
| 716 |
+ |
$\varphi_h$ as a composition of simpler flows, |
| 717 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 718 |
+ |
\varphi _h = \varphi _{h_1 } \circ \varphi _{h_2 } \ldots \circ |
| 719 |
+ |
\varphi _{h_n } |
| 720 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:FlowDecomposition} |
| 721 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 722 |
+ |
where each of the sub-flow is chosen such that each represent a |
| 723 |
+ |
simpler integration of the system. |
| 724 |
+ |
|
| 725 |
+ |
Suppose that a Hamiltonian system takes the form, |
| 726 |
+ |
\[ |
| 727 |
+ |
H = H_1 + H_2. |
| 728 |
+ |
\] |
| 729 |
+ |
Here, $H_1$ and $H_2$ may represent different physical processes of |
| 730 |
+ |
the system. For instance, they may relate to kinetic and potential |
| 731 |
+ |
energy respectively, which is a natural decomposition of the |
| 732 |
+ |
problem. If $H_1$ and $H_2$ can be integrated using exact flows |
| 733 |
+ |
$\varphi_1(t)$ and $\varphi_2(t)$, respectively, a simple first |
| 734 |
+ |
order is then given by the Lie-Trotter formula |
| 735 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 736 |
+ |
\varphi _h = \varphi _{1,h} \circ \varphi _{2,h}, |
| 737 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:firstOrderSplitting} |
| 738 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 739 |
+ |
where $\varphi _h$ is the result of applying the corresponding |
| 740 |
+ |
continuous $\varphi _i$ over a time $h$. By definition, as |
| 741 |
+ |
$\varphi_i(t)$ is the exact solution of a Hamiltonian system, it |
| 742 |
+ |
must follow that each operator $\varphi_i(t)$ is a symplectic map. |
| 743 |
+ |
It is easy to show that any composition of symplectic flows yields a |
| 744 |
+ |
symplectic map, |
| 745 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 746 |
+ |
(\varphi '\phi ')^T J\varphi '\phi ' = \phi '^T \varphi '^T J\varphi |
| 747 |
+ |
'\phi ' = \phi '^T J\phi ' = J, |
| 748 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:SymplecticFlowComposition} |
| 749 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 750 |
+ |
where $\phi$ and $\psi$ both are symplectic maps. Thus operator |
| 751 |
+ |
splitting in this context automatically generates a symplectic map. |
| 752 |
+ |
|
| 753 |
+ |
The Lie-Trotter splitting(\ref{introEquation:firstOrderSplitting}) |
| 754 |
+ |
introduces local errors proportional to $h^2$, while Strang |
| 755 |
+ |
splitting gives a second-order decomposition, |
| 756 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 757 |
+ |
\varphi _h = \varphi _{1,h/2} \circ \varphi _{2,h} \circ \varphi |
| 758 |
+ |
_{1,h/2} , \label{introEquation:secondOrderSplitting} |
| 759 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 760 |
+ |
which has a local error proportional to $h^3$. Sprang splitting's |
| 761 |
+ |
popularity in molecular simulation community attribute to its |
| 762 |
+ |
symmetric property, |
| 763 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 764 |
+ |
\varphi _h^{ - 1} = \varphi _{ - h}. |
| 765 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:timeReversible} |
| 766 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 767 |
+ |
|
| 768 |
+ |
\subsubsection{\label{introSection:exampleSplittingMethod}Example of Splitting Method} |
| 769 |
+ |
The classical equation for a system consisting of interacting |
| 770 |
+ |
particles can be written in Hamiltonian form, |
| 771 |
+ |
\[ |
| 772 |
+ |
H = T + V |
| 773 |
+ |
\] |
| 774 |
+ |
where $T$ is the kinetic energy and $V$ is the potential energy. |
| 775 |
+ |
Setting $H_1 = T, H_2 = V$ and applying Strang splitting, one |
| 776 |
+ |
obtains the following: |
| 777 |
+ |
\begin{align} |
| 778 |
+ |
q(\Delta t) &= q(0) + \dot{q}(0)\Delta t + |
| 779 |
+ |
\frac{F[q(0)]}{m}\frac{\Delta t^2}{2}, % |
| 780 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:Lp10a} \\% |
| 781 |
+ |
% |
| 782 |
+ |
\dot{q}(\Delta t) &= \dot{q}(0) + \frac{\Delta t}{2m} |
| 783 |
+ |
\biggl [F[q(0)] + F[q(\Delta t)] \biggr]. % |
| 784 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:Lp10b} |
| 785 |
+ |
\end{align} |
| 786 |
+ |
where $F(t)$ is the force at time $t$. This integration scheme is |
| 787 |
+ |
known as \emph{velocity verlet} which is |
| 788 |
+ |
symplectic(\ref{introEquation:SymplecticFlowComposition}), |
| 789 |
+ |
time-reversible(\ref{introEquation:timeReversible}) and |
| 790 |
+ |
volume-preserving (\ref{introEquation:volumePreserving}). These |
| 791 |
+ |
geometric properties attribute to its long-time stability and its |
| 792 |
+ |
popularity in the community. However, the most commonly used |
| 793 |
+ |
velocity verlet integration scheme is written as below, |
| 794 |
+ |
\begin{align} |
| 795 |
+ |
\dot{q}\biggl (\frac{\Delta t}{2}\biggr ) &= |
| 796 |
+ |
\dot{q}(0) + \frac{\Delta t}{2m}\, F[q(0)], \label{introEquation:Lp9a}\\% |
| 797 |
+ |
% |
| 798 |
+ |
q(\Delta t) &= q(0) + \Delta t\, \dot{q}\biggl (\frac{\Delta t}{2}\biggr ),% |
| 799 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:Lp9b}\\% |
| 800 |
+ |
% |
| 801 |
+ |
\dot{q}(\Delta t) &= \dot{q}\biggl (\frac{\Delta t}{2}\biggr ) + |
| 802 |
+ |
\frac{\Delta t}{2m}\, F[q(0)]. \label{introEquation:Lp9c} |
| 803 |
+ |
\end{align} |
| 804 |
+ |
From the preceding splitting, one can see that the integration of |
| 805 |
+ |
the equations of motion would follow: |
| 806 |
+ |
\begin{enumerate} |
| 807 |
+ |
\item calculate the velocities at the half step, $\frac{\Delta t}{2}$, from the forces calculated at the initial position. |
| 808 |
+ |
|
| 809 |
+ |
\item Use the half step velocities to move positions one whole step, $\Delta t$. |
| 810 |
+ |
|
| 811 |
+ |
\item Evaluate the forces at the new positions, $\mathbf{r}(\Delta t)$, and use the new forces to complete the velocity move. |
| 812 |
+ |
|
| 813 |
+ |
\item Repeat from step 1 with the new position, velocities, and forces assuming the roles of the initial values. |
| 814 |
+ |
\end{enumerate} |
| 815 |
+ |
|
| 816 |
+ |
Simply switching the order of splitting and composing, a new |
| 817 |
+ |
integrator, the \emph{position verlet} integrator, can be generated, |
| 818 |
+ |
\begin{align} |
| 819 |
+ |
\dot q(\Delta t) &= \dot q(0) + \Delta tF(q(0))\left[ {q(0) + |
| 820 |
+ |
\frac{{\Delta t}}{{2m}}\dot q(0)} \right], % |
| 821 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:positionVerlet1} \\% |
| 822 |
+ |
% |
| 823 |
+ |
q(\Delta t) &= q(0) + \frac{{\Delta t}}{2}\left[ {\dot q(0) + \dot |
| 824 |
+ |
q(\Delta t)} \right]. % |
| 825 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:positionVerlet1} |
| 826 |

\end{align} |

+ |
\subsubsection{\label{introSection:errorAnalysis}Error Analysis and Higher Order Methods} |

Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula can be used to determine the local |
| 831 |
+ |
error of splitting method in terms of commutator of the |
| 832 |
+ |
operators(\ref{introEquation:exponentialOperator}) associated with |
| 833 |
+ |
the sub-flow. For operators $hX$ and $hY$ which are associate to |
| 834 |
+ |
$\varphi_1(t)$ and $\varphi_2(t$ respectively , we have |
| 835 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 836 |

\exp (hX + hY) = \exp (hZ) |
| 837 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 838 |

where |
| 839 |

\begin{equation} |

hZ = hX + hY + \frac{{h^2 }}{2}[X,Y] + \frac{{h^3 }}{2}\left( |
| 841 |
+ |
{[X,[X,Y]] + [Y,[Y,X]]} \right) + \ldots . |
| 842 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 843 |
+ |
Here, $[X,Y]$ is the commutators of operator $X$ and $Y$ given by |
| 844 |

\[ |

[X,Y] = XY - YX . |

Applying Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula to Sprang splitting, we |
| 848 |
+ |
can obtain |
| 849 |
+ |
\begin{eqnarray*} |
| 850 |
+ |
\exp (h X/2)\exp (h Y)\exp (h X/2) & = & \exp (h X + h Y + h^2 |
| 851 |
+ |
[X,Y]/4 + h^2 [Y,X]/4 \\ & & \mbox{} + h^2 [X,X]/8 + h^2 [Y,Y]/8 \\ |
| 852 |
+ |
& & \mbox{} + h^3 [Y,[Y,X]]/12 - h^3 [X,[X,Y]]/24 & & \mbox{} + |
| 853 |
+ |
\ldots ) |
| 854 |
+ |
\end{eqnarray*} |
| 855 |
+ |
Since \[ [X,Y] + [Y,X] = 0\] and \[ [X,X] = 0\], the dominant local |
| 856 |
+ |
error of Spring splitting is proportional to $h^3$. The same |
| 857 |
+ |
procedure can be applied to general splitting, of the form |
| 858 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 859 |
+ |
\varphi _{b_m h}^2 \circ \varphi _{a_m h}^1 \circ \varphi _{b_{m - |
| 860 |
+ |
1} h}^2 \circ \ldots \circ \varphi _{a_1 h}^1 . |
| 861 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 862 |
+ |
Careful choice of coefficient $a_1 ,\ldot , b_m$ will lead to higher |
| 863 |
+ |
order method. Yoshida proposed an elegant way to compose higher |
| 864 |
+ |
order methods based on symmetric splitting. Given a symmetric second |
| 865 |
+ |
order base method $ \varphi _h^{(2)} $, a fourth-order symmetric |
| 866 |
+ |
method can be constructed by composing, |
| 867 |
+ |
\[ |
| 868 |
+ |
\varphi _h^{(4)} = \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2)} \circ \varphi _{\beta |
| 869 |
+ |
h}^{(2)} \circ \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2)} |
| 870 |
+ |
\] |
| 871 |
+ |
where $ \alpha = - \frac{{2^{1/3} }}{{2 - 2^{1/3} }}$ and $ \beta |
| 872 |
+ |
= \frac{{2^{1/3} }}{{2 - 2^{1/3} }}$. Moreover, a symmetric |
| 873 |
+ |
integrator $ \varphi _h^{(2n + 2)}$ can be composed by |
| 874 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 875 |
+ |
\varphi _h^{(2n + 2)} = \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2n)} \circ \varphi |
| 876 |
+ |
_{\beta h}^{(2n)} \circ \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2n)} |
| 877 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 878 |
+ |
, if the weights are chosen as |
| 879 |
+ |
\[ |
| 880 |
+ |
\alpha = - \frac{{2^{1/(2n + 1)} }}{{2 - 2^{1/(2n + 1)} }},\beta = |
| 881 |
+ |
\frac{{2^{1/(2n + 1)} }}{{2 - 2^{1/(2n + 1)} }} . |

A rigid body is a body in which the distance between any two given |
| 900 |
< |
points of a rigid body remains constant regardless of external |
| 901 |
< |
forces exerted on it. A rigid body therefore conserves its shape |
| 902 |
< |
during its motion. |
| 899 |

Rigid bodies are frequently involved in the modeling of different |
| 900 |

areas, from engineering, physics, to chemistry. For example, |
| 901 |

missiles and vehicle are usually modeled by rigid bodies. The |

movement of the objects in 3D gaming engine or other physics |

simulator is governed by the rigid body dynamics. In molecular |

It is very important to develop stable and efficient methods to |

rotational degrees of freedom. However, due to its singularity, the |

different sets of Euler angles can overcome this difficulty\cite{}, |

the computational penalty and the lost of angular momentum |

this approach suffer from the nonseparable Hamiltonian resulted from |

The break through in geometric literature suggests that, in order to |

symplectic structure of the flow. Introducing conjugate momentum to |

rotation matrix $A$ and re-formulating Hamiltonian's equation, a |

In order to construct a second-order symplectic method, we split the |

angular kinetic Hamiltonian function can into five terms |

\[ |

T^r (\pi ) = \frac{1}{2}T_1 ^r (\pi _1 ) + \frac{1}{2}T_2^r (\pi _2 |

Concatenating flows corresponding to these five terms, we can obtain |

an symplectic integrator, |
| 1158 |

\[ |
| 1159 |

\varphi _{\Delta t,T^r } = \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _1 } \circ |
| 1160 |

\varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _2 } \circ \varphi _{\Delta t,\pi _3 } |

\circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _2 } \circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi |

\] |

|
| 1165 |

The non-canonical Lie-Poisson bracket ${F, G}$ of two function |
| 1166 |
> |
$F(\pi )$ and $G(\pi )$ is defined by |
| 1167 |
> |
\[ |
| 1168 |

\{ F,G\} (\pi ) = [\nabla _\pi F(\pi )]^T J(\pi )\nabla _\pi G(\pi |
| 1169 |

) |
| 1170 |
> |
\] |
| 1171 |
> |
If the Poisson bracket of a function $F$ with an arbitrary smooth |
| 1172 |
> |
function $G$ is zero, $F$ is a \emph{Casimir}, which is the |
| 1173 |
> |
conserved quantity in Poisson system. We can easily verify that the |
| 1174 |
> |
norm of the angular momentum, $\parallel \pi |
| 1175 |
> |
\parallel$, is a \emph{Casimir}. Let$ F(\pi ) = S(\frac{{\parallel |
| 1176 |
> |
\pi \parallel ^2 }}{2})$ for an arbitrary function $ S:R \to R$ , |
| 1177 |

then by the chain rule |
| 1178 |

\[ |
| 1179 |

\nabla _\pi F(\pi ) = S'(\frac{{\parallel \pi \parallel ^2 |

Thus $ [\nabla _\pi F(\pi )]^T J(\pi ) = - S'(\frac{{\parallel \pi |

Lie-Poisson integrator is found to be extremely efficient and stable |

which can be explained by the fact the small angle approximation is |

used and the norm of the angular momentum is conserved. |

\] |
| 1216 |

| 1222 |

Since the associated operators of $\varphi _{\Delta t/2,F} $ and |

| 1225 |

|
| 1226 |

Furthermore, kinetic potential can be separated to translational |

kinetic term, $T^t (p)$, and rotational kinetic term, $T^r (\pi )$, |
| 1228 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1229 |

T(p,\pi ) =T^t (p) + T^r (\pi ). |

\end{equation} |

where $ T^t (p) = \frac{1}{2}p^T m^{ - 1} p $ and $T^r (\pi )$ is |
| 1232 |
+ |
defined by \ref{introEquation:rotationalKineticRB}. Therefore, the |

corresponding flow maps are given by |
| 1234 |

\[ |
| 1235 |

\varphi _{\Delta t,T} = \varphi _{\Delta t,T^t } \circ \varphi |
