The DLM method uses a Trotter factorization of the orientational |
| 43 |
|
propagator. This has three effects: |

|
r}_{ij}(t) \otimes {\bf f}_{ij}(t). |

The instantaneous pressure is then simply obtained from the trace of |
| 321 |

the Pressure tensor, |

the pressure tensor, |

\begin{equation} |

P(t) = \frac{1}{3} \mathrm{Tr} \left( |
| 324 |
|
\overleftrightarrow{\mathsf{P}}(t) \right) . |

minimum with respect to surface area $A$, |

\gamma = \frac{{\partial G}}{{\partial A}}. |

However, a surface tension of zero is not |
| 589 |
|
appropriate for relatively small patches of membrane. In order to |
| 590 |
|
eliminate the edge effect of membrane simulations, a special |

ensemble, NP$\gamma$T, has been proposed to maintain the lateral |

ensemble NP$\gamma$T has been proposed to maintain the lateral |
