  electrostatic potentials for higher-order multipoles that are based
  on truncated Taylor expansions around the cutoff radius.  For
  multipole-multipole interactions, we find that each of the distinct

  that the overall forces and torques vanish at the cutoff radius. In
  this paper, we present energy, force, and torque expressions for the

\section{Introduction}
There has been increasing interest in real-space methods for
calculating electrostatic interactions in computer simulations of
condensed molecular
systems.\cite{Wolf99,Zahn02,Kast03,BeckD.A.C._bi0486381,Ma05,Fennell:2006zl,Chen:2004du,Chen:2006ii,Rodgers:2006nw,Denesyuk:2008ez,Izvekov:2008wo}
The simplest of these techniques was developed by Wolf {\it et al.}
in their work towards an $\mathcal{O}(N)$ Coulombic sum.\cite{Wolf99}
For systems of point charges, Fennell and Gezelter showed that a
simple damped shifted force (DSF) modification to Wolf's method could
give nearly quantitative agreement with smooth particle mesh Ewald
(SPME)\cite{Essmann95} configurational energy differences as well as
atomic force and molecular torque vectors.\cite{Fennell:2006zl}

The computational efficiency and the accuracy of the DSF method are
surprisingly good, particularly for systems with uniform charge
density. Additionally, dielectric constants obtained using DSF and
similar methods where the force vanishes at $r_{c}$ are
essentially quantitative.\cite{Izvekov:2008wo} The DSF and other
related methods have now been widely investigated,\cite{Hansen:2012uq}
and DSF is now used routinely in a diverse set of chemical
environments.\cite{doi:10.1021/la400226g,McCann:2013fk,kannam:094701,Forrest:2012ly,English:2008kx,Louden:2013ve,Tokumasu:2013zr}
DSF electrostatics provides a compromise between the computational
speed of real-space cutoffs and the accuracy of fully-periodic Ewald
treatments.

One common feature of many coarse-graining approaches, which treat
entire molecular subsystems as a single rigid body, is simplification
of the electrostatic interactions between these bodies so that fewer
site-site interactions are required to compute configurational
energies. To do this, the interactions between coarse-grained sites
are typically taken to be point
multipoles.\cite{Golubkov06,ISI:000276097500009,ISI:000298664400012}

Water, in particular, has been modeled recently with point multipoles
up to octupolar
order.\cite{Chowdhuri:2006lr,Te:2010rt,Te:2010ys,Te:2010vn} For
maximum efficiency, these models require the use of an approximate
multipole expansion as the exact multipole expansion can become quite
expensive (particularly when handled via the Ewald
sum).\cite{Ichiye:2006qy} Point multipoles and multipole
polarizability have also been utilized in the AMOEBA water model and
related force fields.\cite{Ponder:2010fk,schnieders:124114,Ren:2011uq}

Higher-order multipoles present a peculiar issue for molecular
dynamics. Multipolar interactions are inherently short-ranged, and
should not need the relatively expensive Ewald treatment.  However,
real-space cutoff methods are normally applied in an orientation-blind
fashion so multipoles which leave and then re-enter a cutoff sphere in
a different orientation can cause energy discontinuities.

This paper outlines an extension of the original DSF electrostatic
kernel to point multipoles.  We describe two distinct real-space
interaction models for higher-order multipoles based on two truncated
Taylor expansions that are carried out at the cutoff radius.  We are
calling these models {\bf Taylor-shifted} and {\bf Gradient-shifted}
electrostatics.  Because of differences in the initial assumptions,
the two methods yield related, but somewhat different expressions for
energies, forces, and torques.

In this paper we outline the new methodology and give functional forms
for the energies, forces, and torques up to quadrupole-quadrupole
order.  We also compare the new methods to analytic energy constants
for periodic arrays of point multipoles. In the following paper, we
provide numerical comparisons to Ewald-based electrostatics in common
simulation enviornments.

\section{Methodology}
An efficient real-space electrostatic method involves the use of a
pair-wise functional form,
\begin{equation}
V = \sum_i \sum_{j>i} V_\mathrm{pair}(\mathbf{r}_{ij}, \Omega_i, \Omega_j) +
\sum_i V_i^\mathrm{self}
\end{equation}
that is short-ranged and easily truncated at a cutoff radius,
\begin{equation}
  V_\mathrm{pair}(\mathbf{r}_{ij},\Omega_i, \Omega_j) = \left\{
\begin{array}{ll}
V_\mathrm{approx} (\mathbf{r}_{ij}, \Omega_i, \Omega_j) & \quad \left| \mathbf{r}_{ij} \right| \le r_c \\
0 & \quad \left| \mathbf{r}_{ij} \right|  > r_c ,
\end{array}
\right.
\end{equation}
along with an easily computed self-interaction term ($\sum_i
V_i^\mathrm{self}$) which scales linearly with the number of
particles.  Here $\Omega_i$ and $\Omega_j$ represent orientational
coordinates of the two sites, and $\mathbf{r}_{ij}$ is the vector
between the two sites.  The computational efficiency, energy
conservation, and even some physical properties of a simulation can
depend dramatically on how the $V_\mathrm{approx}$ function behaves at
the cutoff radius. The goal of any approximation method should be to
mimic the real behavior of the electrostatic interactions as closely
as possible without sacrificing the near-linear scaling of a cutoff
method.

\subsection{Self-neutralization, damping, and force-shifting}
The DSF and Wolf methods operate by neutralizing the total charge
contained within the cutoff sphere surrounding each particle.  This is
accomplished by shifting the potential functions to generate image
charges on the surface of the cutoff sphere for each pair interaction
computed within $r_c$. Damping using a complementary error function is
applied to the potential to accelerate convergence. The interaction
for a pair of charges ($C_i$ and $C_j$) in the DSF method,
\begin{equation*}
V_\mathrm{DSF}(r) = C_i C_j \Biggr{[}
\frac{\mathrm{erfc}\left(\alpha r_{ij}\right)}{r_{ij}} 
- \frac{\mathrm{erfc}\left(\alpha r_c\right)}{r_c} + \left(\frac{\mathrm{erfc}\left(\alpha r_c\right)}{r_c^2} 
+ \frac{2\alpha}{\pi^{1/2}}
\frac{\exp\left(-\alpha^2r_c^2\right)}{r_c}
\right)\left(r_{ij}-r_c\right)\ \Biggr{]} 
\label{eq:DSFPot}
\end{equation*}
where $\alpha$ is the adjustable damping parameter.  Note that in this
potential and in all electrostatic quantities that follow, the
standard $1/4 \pi \epsilon_{0}$ has been omitted for clarity.

To insure net charge neutrality within each cutoff sphere, an
additional ``self'' term is added to the potential. This term is
constant (as long as the charges and cutoff radius do not change), and
exists outside the normal pair-loop for molecular simulations.  It can
be thought of as a contribution from a charge opposite in sign, but
equal in magnitude, to the central charge, which has been spread out
over the surface of the cutoff sphere.  A portion of the self term is
identical to the self term in the Ewald summation, and comes from the
utilization of the complimentary error function for electrostatic
damping.\cite{deLeeuw80,Wolf99} There have also been recent efforts to
extend the Wolf self-neutralization method to zero out the dipole and
higher order multipoles contained within the cutoff
sphere.\cite{Fukuda:2011jk,Fukuda:2012yu,Fukuda:2013qv}

In this work, we extend the idea of self-neutralization for the point
multipoles by insuring net charge-neutrality and net-zero moments
within each cutoff sphere.  In Figure \ref{fig:shiftedMultipoles}, the
central dipolar site $\mathbf{D}_i$ is interacting with point dipole
$\mathbf{D}_j$ and point quadrupole, $\mathbf{Q}_k$.  The
self-neutralization scheme for point multipoles involves projecting
opposing multipoles for sites $j$ and $k$ on the surface of the cutoff
sphere.  There are also significant modifications made to make the
forces and torques go smoothly to zero at the cutoff distance.


As in the point-charge approach, there is an additional contribution
from self-neutralization of site $i$.  The self term for multipoles is
described in section \ref{sec:selfTerm}.

\subsection{The multipole expansion}

Consider two discrete rigid collections of point charges, denoted as
$\bf a$ and $\bf b$.  In the following, we assume that the two objects
interact via electrostatics only and describe those interactions in
terms of a standard multipole expansion.  Putting the origin of the
coordinate system at the center of mass of $\bf a$, we use vectors
$\mathbf{r}_k$ to denote the positions of all charges $q_k$ in $\bf
a$.  Then the electrostatic potential of object $\bf a$ at
$\mathbf{r}$ is given by
\begin{equation}
V_a(\mathbf r) = 
 \sum_{k \, \text{in \bf a}} \frac{q_k}{\lvert \mathbf{r} - \mathbf{r}_k \rvert}.
\end{equation}
The Taylor expansion in $r$ can be written using an implied summation
notation.  Here Greek indices are used to indicate space coordinates
($x$, $y$, $z$) and the subscripts $k$ and $j$ are reserved for
labeling specific charges in $\bf a$ and $\bf b$ respectively.  The
Taylor expansion,
\begin{equation}
 \frac{1}{\lvert \mathbf{r} - \mathbf{r}_k \rvert} = 
\left( 1
-  r_{k\alpha} \frac{\partial}{\partial r_{\alpha}} 
+ \frac{1}{2}  r_{k\alpha} r_{k\beta} \frac{\partial^2}{\partial r_{\alpha} \partial r_{\beta}} +\dots 
\right)
\frac{1}{r}  ,
\end{equation}
can then be used to express the electrostatic potential on $\bf a$ in
terms of multipole operators,
\begin{equation}
V_{\bf a}(\mathbf{r}) =\hat{M}_{\bf a} \frac{1}{r} 
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
\hat{M}_{\bf a} = C_{\bf a} - D_{{\bf a}\alpha} \frac{\partial}{\partial r_{\alpha}} 
+  Q_{{\bf a}\alpha\beta}
 \frac{\partial^2}{\partial r_{\alpha} \partial r_{\beta}} + \dots
\end{equation}
Here, the point charge, dipole, and quadrupole for object $\bf a$ are
given by $C_{\bf a}$, $D_{{\bf a}\alpha}$, and $Q_{{\bf
    a}\alpha\beta}$, respectively.  These are the primitive multipoles
which can be expressed as a distribution of charges,
\begin{align}
C_{\bf a} =&\sum_{k \, \text{in \bf a}} q_k , \label{eq:charge} \\
D_{{\bf a}\alpha} =&\sum_{k \, \text{in \bf a}} q_k r_{k\alpha}, \label{eq:dipole}\\
Q_{{\bf a}\alpha\beta} =& \frac{1}{2} \sum_{k \, \text{in \bf a}} q_k
r_{k\alpha}  r_{k\beta} . \label{eq:quadrupole}
\end{align}
Note that the definition of the primitive quadrupole here differs from
the standard traceless form, and contains an additional Taylor-series
based factor of $1/2$.  We are essentially treating the mass
distribution with higher priority; the moment of inertia tensor,
$\overleftrightarrow{\mathsf I}$, is diagonalized to obtain body-fixed
axes, and the charge distribution may result in a quadrupole tensor
that is not necessarily diagonal in the body frame.  Additional
reasons for utilizing the primitive quadrupole are discussed in
section \ref{sec:damped}.

It is convenient to locate charges $q_j$ relative to the center of mass of  $\bf b$.  Then with $\bf{r}$ pointing from
$\bf a$ to $\bf b$ ($\mathbf{r}=\mathbf{r}_b - \mathbf{r}_b $), the interaction energy is given by
\begin{equation}
U_{\bf{ab}}(r)
= \hat{M}_a \sum_{j \, \text{in \bf b}} \frac {q_j}{\vert \bf{r}+\bf{r}_j \vert} .
\end{equation}
This can also be expanded as a Taylor series in $r$.  Using a notation
similar to before to define the multipoles on object {\bf b},
\begin{equation}
\hat{M}_{\bf b} = C_{\bf b} + D_{{\bf b}\alpha} \frac{\partial}{\partial r_{\alpha}} 
+   Q_{{\bf b}\alpha\beta}
 \frac{\partial^2}{\partial r_{\alpha} \partial r_{\beta}} + \dots
\end{equation}
we arrive at the multipole expression for the total interaction energy.
\begin{equation}
U_{\bf{ab}}(r)=\hat{M}_{\bf a} \hat{M}_{\bf b} \frac{1}{r}  \label{kernel}.
\end{equation}
This form has the benefit of separating out the energies of
interaction into contributions from the charge, dipole, and quadrupole
of $\bf a$ interacting with the same multipoles on $\bf b$.

\subsection{Damped Coulomb interactions}
\label{sec:damped}
In the standard multipole expansion, one typically uses the bare
Coulomb potential, with radial dependence $1/r$, as shown in
Eq.~(\ref{kernel}).  It is also quite common to use a damped Coulomb
interaction, which results from replacing point charges with Gaussian
distributions of charge with width $\alpha$.  In damped multipole
electrostatics, the kernel ($1/r$) of the expansion is replaced with
the function:
\begin{equation}
B_0(r)=\frac{\text{erfc}(\alpha r)}{r} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}r}
\int_{\alpha r}^{\infty} \text{e}^{-s^2} ds .
\end{equation}
We develop equations below using the function $f(r)$ to represent
either $1/r$ or $B_0(r)$, and all of the techniques can be applied to
bare or damped Coulomb kernels (or any other function) as long as
derivatives of these functions are known.  Smith's convenient
functions $B_l(r)$ are summarized in Appendix A.  (N.B. there is one
important distinction between the two kernels, which is the behavior
of $\nabla^2 \frac{1}{r}$ compared with $\nabla^2 B_0(r)$.  The former
is zero everywhere except for a delta function evaluated at the
origin.  The latter also has delta function behavior, but is non-zero
for $r \neq 0$.  Thus the standard justification for using a traceless
quadrupole tensor fails for the damped case.)

The main goal of this work is to smoothly cut off the interaction
energy as well as forces and torques as $r\rightarrow r_c$.  To
describe how this goal may be met, we use two examples, charge-charge
and charge-dipole, using the bare Coulomb kernel, $f(r)=1/r$, to
explain the idea.

\subsection{Shifted-force methods}
In the shifted-force approximation, the interaction energy for two
charges $C_{\bf a}$ and $C_{\bf b}$ separated by a distance $r$ is
written:
\begin{equation}
U_{C_{\bf a}C_{\bf b}}(r)= C_{\bf a} C_{\bf b}
\left({ \frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{r_c} + (r - r_c) \frac{1}{r_c^2}  }
\right) .
\end{equation}
Two shifting terms appear in this equations, one from the
neutralization procedure ($-1/r_c$), and one that causes the first
derivative to vanish at the cutoff radius.

Since one derivative of the interaction energy is needed for the
force, the minimal perturbation is a term linear in $(r-r_c)$ in the
interaction energy, that is:
\begin{equation}
\frac{d\,}{dr} 
\left( {\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{r_c} + (r - r_c) \frac{1}{r_c^2}  }
\right) = \left(- \frac{1}{r^2} + \frac{1}{r_c^2} 
\right) .
\end{equation}
which clearly vanishes as the $r$ approaches the cutoff radius. There
are a number of ways to generalize this derivative shift for
higher-order multipoles.  Below, we present two methods, one based on
higher-order Taylor series for $r$ near $r_c$, and the other based on
linear shift of the kernel gradients at the cutoff itself.

\subsection{Taylor-shifted force (TSF) electrostatics}
In the Taylor-shifted force (TSF) method, the procedure that we follow
is based on a Taylor expansion containing the same number of
derivatives required for each force term to vanish at the cutoff.  For
example, the quadrupole-quadrupole interaction energy requires four
derivatives of the kernel, and the force requires one additional
derivative. For quadrupole-quadrupole interactions, we therefore
require shifted energy expressions that include up to $(r-r_c)^5$ so
that all energies, forces, and torques are zero as $r \rightarrow
r_c$. In each case, we subtract off a function $f_n^{\text{shift}}(r)$
from the kernel $f(r)=1/r$.  The subscript $n$ indicates the number of
derivatives to be taken when deriving a given multipole energy.  We
choose a function with guaranteed smooth derivatives -- a truncated
Taylor series of the function $f(r)$, e.g.,
%
\begin{equation}
f_n^{\text{shift}}(r)=\sum_{m=0}^{n+1} \frac {(r-r_c)^m}{m!} f^{(m)}(r_c)  .
\end{equation}
%
The combination of $f(r)$ with the shifted function is denoted $f_n(r)=f(r)-f_n^{\text{shift}}(r)$.
Thus, for $f(r)=1/r$, we find
%
\begin{equation}
f_1(r)=\frac{1}{r}- \frac{1}{r_c} + (r - r_c) \frac{1}{r_c^2} - \frac{(r-r_c)^2}{r_c^3} .
\end{equation}
%
Continuing with the example of a charge $\bf a$ interacting with a
dipole $\bf b$, we write
%
\begin{equation}
U_{C_{\bf a}D_{\bf b}}(r)=
C_{\bf a} D_{{\bf b}\alpha}  \frac {\partial f_1(r) }{\partial r_\alpha} 
= C_{\bf a} D_{{\bf b}\alpha}
\frac {r_\alpha}{r} \frac {\partial f_1(r)}{\partial r} .
\end{equation}
%
The force that dipole  $\bf b$ exerts on charge $\bf a$ is
%
\begin{equation}
F_{C_{\bf a}D_{\bf b}\beta} = C_{\bf a} D_{{\bf b}\alpha}
\left[ \frac{\delta_{\alpha\beta}}{r} \frac {\partial}{\partial r} + 
\frac{r_\alpha r_\beta}{r^2}
\left( -\frac{1}{r} \frac {\partial} {\partial r} 
+ \frac {\partial ^2} {\partial r^2} \right) \right] f_1(r) .
\end{equation}
%
For undamped coulombic interactions, $f(r)=1/r$, we find
%
\begin{equation}
F_{C_{\bf a}D_{\bf b}\beta} =
\frac{C_{\bf a} D_{{\bf b}\beta}}{r}
\left[  -\frac{1}{r^2}+\frac{1}{r_c^2}-\frac{2(r-r_c)}{r_c^3} \right] 
+C_{\bf a} D_{{\bf b}\alpha}r_\alpha r_\beta 
\left[ \frac{3}{r^5}-\frac{3}{r^3r_c^2} \right] .
\end{equation}
%
This expansion shows the expected $1/r^3$ dependence of the force.  

In general, we can write
%
\begin{equation}
U^{\text{TSF}}= (\text{prefactor}) (\text{derivatives}) f_n(r)
\label{generic}
\end{equation}
%
with $n=0$ for charge-charge, $n=1$ for charge-dipole, $n=2$ for
charge-quadrupole and dipole-dipole, $n=3$ for dipole-quadrupole, and
$n=4$ for quadrupole-quadrupole.  For example, in
quadrupole-quadrupole interactions for which the $\text{prefactor}$ is
$Q_{{\bf a}\alpha\beta}Q_{{\bf b}\gamma\delta}$, the derivatives are
$\partial^4/\partial r_\alpha \partial r_\beta \partial
r_\gamma \partial r_\delta$, with implied summation combining the
space indices.

In the formulas presented in the tables below, the placeholder
function $f(r)$ is used to represent the electrostatic kernel (either
damped or undamped).  The main functions that go into the force and
torque terms, $g_n(r), h_n(r), s_n(r), \mathrm{~and~} t_n(r)$ are
successive derivatives of the shifted electrostatic kernel, $f_n(r)$
of the same index $n$.  The algebra required to evaluate energies,
forces and torques is somewhat tedious, so only the final forms are
presented in tables \ref{tab:tableenergy} and \ref{tab:tableFORCE}.
One of the principal findings of our work is that the individual
orientational contributions to the various multipole-multipole
interactions must be treated with distinct radial functions, but each
of these contributions is independently force shifted at the cutoff
radius.  

\subsection{Gradient-shifted force (GSF) electrostatics}
The second, and conceptually simpler approach to force-shifting
maintains only the linear $(r-r_c)$ term in the truncated Taylor
expansion, and has a similar interaction energy for all multipole
orders:
\begin{equation}
U^{\text{GSF}} = \sum \left[ U(\mathbf{r}, \hat{\mathbf{a}}, \hat{\mathbf{b}}) -
U(\mathbf{r}_c,\hat{\mathbf{a}}, \hat{\mathbf{b}}) - (r-r_c) \hat{r}
\cdot \nabla U(\mathbf{r},\hat{\mathbf{a}}, \hat{\mathbf{b}}) \Big \lvert  _{r_c} \right]
\label{generic2}
\end{equation}
where the sum describes a separate force-shifting that is applied to
each orientational contribution to the energy.  Both the potential and
the gradient for force shifting are evaluated for an image multipole
projected onto the surface of the cutoff sphere (see fig
\ref{fig:shiftedMultipoles}).  The image multipole retains the
orientation ($\hat{\mathbf{b}}$) of the interacting multipole.  No
higher order terms $(r-r_c)^n$ appear.  The primary difference between
the TSF and GSF methods is the stage at which the Taylor Series is
applied; in the Taylor-shifted approach, it is applied to the kernel
itself.  In the Gradient-shifted approach, it is applied to individual
radial interactions terms in the multipole expansion.  Energies from
this method thus have the general form:
\begin{equation}
U= \sum  (\text{angular factor}) (\text{radial factor}).
\label{generic3}
\end{equation}

Functional forms for both methods (TSF and GSF) can both be summarized
using the form of Eq.~(\ref{generic3}).  The basic forms for the
energy, force, and torque expressions are tabulated for both shifting
approaches below -- for each separate orientational contribution, only
the radial factors differ between the two methods.

\subsection{\label{sec:level2}Body and space axes}
Although objects $\bf a$ and $\bf b$ rotate during a molecular
dynamics (MD) simulation, their multipole tensors remain fixed in
body-frame coordinates. While deriving force and torque expressions,
it is therefore convenient to write the energies, forces, and torques
in intermediate forms involving the vectors of the rotation matrices.
We denote body axes for objects $\bf a$ and $\bf b$ using unit vectors
$\hat{a}_m$ and $\hat{b}_m$, respectively, with the index $m=(123)$.
In a typical simulation , the initial axes are obtained by
diagonalizing the moment of inertia tensors for the objects.  (N.B.,
the body axes are generally {\it not} the same as those for which the
quadrupole moment is diagonal.)  The rotation matrices are then
propagated during the simulation.

The rotation matrices $\hat{\mathbf {a}}$ and $\hat{\mathbf {b}}$ can be
expressed using these unit vectors:
\begin{eqnarray}
\hat{\mathbf {a}} = 
\begin{pmatrix}
\hat{a}_1 \\
\hat{a}_2 \\
\hat{a}_3
\end{pmatrix}, \qquad
\hat{\mathbf {b}} = 
\begin{pmatrix}
\hat{b}_1 \\
\hat{b}_2 \\
\hat{b}_3
\end{pmatrix}
\end{eqnarray}
%
These matrices convert from space-fixed $(xyz)$ to body-fixed $(123)$
coordinates.

Allen and Germano,\cite{Allen:2006fk} following earlier work by Price
{\em et al.},\cite{Price:1984fk} showed that if the interaction
energies are written explicitly in terms of $\hat{r}$ and the body
axes ($\hat{a}_m$, $\hat{b}_n$) :
%
\begin{equation}
U(r, \{\hat{a}_m \cdot \hat{r} \}, 
\{\hat{b}_n\cdot \hat{r} \}, 
\{\hat{a}_m \cdot \hat{b}_n \}) .
\label{ugeneral}
\end{equation}
%
the forces come out relatively cleanly,
%
\begin{equation}
\mathbf{F}_{\bf a}=-\mathbf{F}_{\bf b} =  \frac{\partial U}{\partial \mathbf{r}} 
= \frac{\partial U}{\partial r} \hat{r} 
 + \sum_m \left[ 
\frac{\partial U}{\partial (\hat{a}_m \cdot \hat{r})} 
\frac { \partial (\hat{a}_m \cdot \hat{r})}{\partial \mathbf{r}} 
+ \frac{\partial U}{\partial (\hat{b}_m \cdot \hat{r})} 
\frac { \partial (\hat{b}_m \cdot \hat{r})}{\partial \mathbf{r}} 
\right] \label{forceequation}.
\end{equation}

The torques can also be found in a relatively similar
manner,
%
\begin{eqnarray}
\mathbf{\tau}_{\bf a} =
 \sum_m 
\frac{\partial U}{\partial (\hat{a}_m \cdot \hat{r})} 
( \hat{r} \times \hat{a}_m )
-\sum_{mn}
\frac{\partial U}{\partial (\hat{a}_m \cdot \hat{b}_n)} 
(\hat{a}_m \times \hat{b}_n) \\
%
\mathbf{\tau}_{\bf b} =
 \sum_m 
\frac{\partial U}{\partial (\hat{b}_m \cdot \hat{r})}

+\sum_{mn}
\frac{\partial U}{\partial (\hat{a}_m \cdot \hat{b}_n)} 
(\hat{a}_m \times \hat{b}_n) .
\end{eqnarray}

Note that our definition of $\mathbf{r}=\mathbf{r}_b - \mathbf{r}_b $
is opposite in sign to that of Allen and Germano.\cite{Allen:2006fk}
We also made use of the identities,
%
\begin{align}
\frac { \partial (\hat{a}_m \cdot \hat{r})}{\partial \mathbf{r}} 
=& \frac{1}{r} \left(  \hat{a}_m - (\hat{a}_m \cdot \hat{r})\hat{r}
\right) \\
\frac { \partial (\hat{b}_m \cdot \hat{r})}{\partial \mathbf{r}} 
=& \frac{1}{r} \left(  \hat{b}_m - (\hat{b}_m \cdot \hat{r})\hat{r} 
\right) .
\end{align}

Many of the multipole contractions required can be written in one of
three equivalent forms using the unit vectors $\hat{r}$, $\hat{a}_m$,
and $\hat{b}_n$. In the torque expressions, it is useful to have the
angular-dependent terms available in all three fashions, e.g. for the
dipole-dipole contraction:
%
\begin{equation}
 \mathbf{D}_{\mathbf {a}} \cdot \mathbf{D}_{\mathbf{b}}
= D_{\bf {a}\alpha} D_{\bf {b}\alpha} =
\sum_{mn} {D_{\mathbf{a}m} \hat{a}_m \cdot \hat{b}_n D_{\mathbf{b}n}}
\end{equation}
%
The first two forms are written using space coordinates.  The first
form is standard in the chemistry literature, while the second is
expressed using implied summation notation.  The third form shows
explicit sums over body indices and the dot products now indicate
contractions using space indices. 

In computing our force and torque expressions, we carried out most of
the work in body coordinates, and have transformed the expressions
back to space-frame coordinates, which are reported below.  Interested
readers may consult the supplemental information for this paper for
the intermediate body-frame expressions.

\subsection{The Self-Interaction \label{sec:selfTerm}}

In addition to cutoff-sphere neutralization, the Wolf
summation~\cite{Wolf99} and the damped shifted force (DSF)
extension~\cite{Fennell:2006zl} also include self-interactions that
are handled separately from the pairwise interactions between
sites. The self-term is normally calculated via a single loop over all
sites in the system, and is relatively cheap to evaluate. The
self-interaction has contributions from two sources.

First, the neutralization procedure within the cutoff radius requires
a contribution from a charge opposite in sign, but equal in magnitude,
to the central charge, which has been spread out over the surface of
the cutoff sphere.  For a system of undamped charges, the total
self-term is
\begin{equation}
V_\textrm{self} = - \frac{1}{r_c} \sum_{{\bf a}=1}^N C_{\bf a}^{2}
\label{eq:selfTerm}
\end{equation}

Second, charge damping with the complementary error function is a
partial analogy to the Ewald procedure which splits the interaction
into real and reciprocal space sums.  The real space sum is retained
in the Wolf and DSF methods.  The reciprocal space sum is first
minimized by folding the largest contribution (the self-interaction)
into the self-interaction from charge neutralization of the damped
potential.  The remainder of the reciprocal space portion is then
discarded (as this contributes the largest computational cost and
complexity to the Ewald sum).  For a system containing only damped
charges, the complete self-interaction can be written as
\begin{equation}
V_\textrm{self} = - \left(\frac{\textrm{erfc}(\alpha r_c)}{r_c} + 
  \frac{\alpha}{\sqrt{\pi}} \right) \sum_{{\bf a}=1}^N
      C_{\bf a}^{2}.
\label{eq:dampSelfTerm}
\end{equation}

The extension of DSF electrostatics to point multipoles requires
treatment of {\it both} the self-neutralization and reciprocal
contributions to the self-interaction for higher order multipoles.  In
this section we give formulae for these interactions up to quadrupolar
order.

The self-neutralization term is computed by taking the {\it
  non-shifted} kernel for each interaction, placing a multipole of
equal magnitude (but opposite in polarization) on the surface of the
cutoff sphere, and averaging over the surface of the cutoff sphere.
Because the self term is carried out as a single sum over sites, the
reciprocal-space portion is identical to half of the self-term
obtained by Smith and Aguado and Madden for the application of the
Ewald sum to multipoles.\cite{Smith82,Smith98,Aguado03} For a given
site which posesses a charge, dipole, and quadrupole, both types of
contribution are given in table \ref{tab:tableSelf}.

\begin{table*}
  \caption{\label{tab:tableSelf} Self-interaction contributions for 
    site ({\bf a}) that has a charge $(C_{\bf a})$, dipole
    $(\mathbf{D}_{\bf a})$, and quadrupole $(\mathbf{Q}_{\bf a})$}
\begin{ruledtabular}
\begin{tabular}{lccc}
Multipole order & Summed Quantity & Self-neutralization  & Reciprocal \\ \hline
Charge & $C_{\bf a}^2$ & $-f(r_c)$ & $-\frac{\alpha}{\sqrt{\pi}}$ \\
Dipole & $|\mathbf{D}_{\bf a}|^2$ & $\frac{1}{3} \left( h(r_c) +
  \frac{2 g(r_c)}{r_c} \right)$ & $-\frac{2 \alpha^3}{3 \sqrt{\pi}}$\\
Quadrupole & $2 \mathbf{Q}_{\bf a}:\mathbf{Q}_{\bf a} + \text{Tr}(\mathbf{Q}_{\bf a})^2$ &
$- \frac{1}{15} \left( t(r_c)+ \frac{4 s(r_c)}{r_c} \right)$ &
$-\frac{4 \alpha^5}{5 \sqrt{\pi}}$ \\
Charge-Quadrupole & $-2 C_{\bf a} \text{Tr}(\mathbf{Q}_{\bf a})$ & $\frac{1}{3} \left(
  h(r_c) + \frac{2 g(r_c)}{r_c} \right)$& $-\frac{2 \alpha^3}{3 \sqrt{\pi}}$ \\
\end{tabular}
\end{ruledtabular}
\end{table*}

For sites which simultaneously contain charges and quadrupoles, the
self-interaction includes a cross-interaction between these two
multipole orders.  Symmetry prevents the charge-dipole and
dipole-quadrupole interactions from contributing to the
self-interaction.  The functions that go into the self-neutralization
terms, $g(r), h(r), s(r), \mathrm{~and~} t(r)$ are successive
derivatives of the electrostatic kernel, $f(r)$ (either the undamped
$1/r$ or the damped $B_0(r)=\mathrm{erfc}(\alpha r)/r$ function) that
have been evaluated at the cutoff distance.  For undamped
interactions, $f(r_c) = 1/r_c$, $g(r_c) = -1/r_c^{2}$, and so on.  For
damped interactions, $f(r_c) = B_0(r_c)$, $g(r_c) = B_0'(r_c)$, and so
on.  Appendix \ref{SmithFunc} contains recursion relations that allow
rapid evaluation of these derivatives.

\section{Interaction energies, forces, and torques}
The main result of this paper is a set of expressions for the
energies, forces and torques (up to quadrupole-quadrupole order) that
work for both the Taylor-shifted and Gradient-shifted approximations.
These expressions were derived using a set of generic radial
functions.  Without using the shifting approximations mentioned above,
some of these radial functions would be identical, and the expressions
coalesce into the familiar forms for unmodified multipole-multipole
interactions.  Table \ref{tab:tableenergy} maps between the generic
functions and the radial functions derived for both the Taylor-shifted
and Gradient-shifted methods.  The energy equations are written in
terms of lab-frame representations of the dipoles, quadrupoles, and
the unit vector connecting the two objects,

Note that the energies of multipoles on site $\mathbf{b}$ interacting
with those on site $\mathbf{a}$ can be obtained by swapping indices
along with the sign of the intersite vector, $\hat{r}$.

\subsection{Forces}
The force on object $\bf{a}$, $\mathbf{F}_{\bf a}$, due to object
$\bf{b}$ is the negative of the force on $\bf{b}$ due to $\bf{a}$. For
a simple charge-charge interaction, these forces will point along the
$\pm \hat{r}$ directions, where $\mathbf{r}=\mathbf{r}_b -
\mathbf{r}_a $.  Thus
%
\begin{equation}
F_{\bf a \alpha} = \hat{r}_\alpha \frac{\partial U_{C_{\bf a}C_{\bf b}}}{\partial r} 
\quad \text{and} \quad  F_{\bf b \alpha} 
= - \hat{r}_\alpha \frac{\partial U_{C_{\bf a}C_{\bf b}}} {\partial r}  .
\end{equation}
%
We list below the force equations written in terms of lab-frame
coordinates.  The radial functions used in the two methods are listed

Here, we have defined the matrix cross product in an identical form
as in Ref. \onlinecite{Smith98}:
\begin{equation}
\left[\mathbf{A} \times \mathbf{B}\right]_\alpha = \sum_\beta
\left[\mathbf{A}_{\alpha+1,\beta} \mathbf{B}_{\alpha+2,\beta}
  -\mathbf{A}_{\alpha+2,\beta} \mathbf{B}_{\alpha+2,\beta} 
\right]
\end{equation}
where $\alpha+1$ and $\alpha+2$ are regarded as cyclic
permuations of the matrix indices.

All of the radial functions required for torques are identical with
the radial functions previously computed for the interaction energies.
These are tabulated for both shifted force methods in table
\ref{tab:tableenergy}.  The torques for higher multipoles on site
$\mathbf{a}$ interacting with those of lower order on site
$\mathbf{b}$ can be obtained by swapping indices in the expressions
above.

\section{Related real-space methods}
One can also formulate an extension of the Wolf approach for point
multipoles by simply projecting the image multipole onto the surface
of the cutoff sphere, and including the interactions with the central
multipole and the image.  This effectively shifts the total potential
to zero at the cutoff radius,
\begin{equation}
U^{\text{SP}} = \sum \left[ U(\mathbf{r}, \hat{\mathbf{a}}, \hat{\mathbf{b}}) -
U(\mathbf{r}_c,\hat{\mathbf{a}}, \hat{\mathbf{b}}) \right]
\label{eq:SP}
\end{equation}
where the sum describes separate potential shifting that is applied to
each orientational contribution to the energy.
 
The energies and torques for the shifted potential (SP) can be easily
obtained by zeroing out the $(r-r_c)$ terms in the final column of
table \ref{tab:tableenergy}.  Forces for the SP method retain
discontinuities at the cutoff sphere, and can be obtained by
eliminating all functions that depend on $r_c$ in the last column of
table \ref{tab:tableFORCE}.  The self-energy contributions for the SP
potential are identical to both the GSF and TSF methods.

\section{Comparison to known multipolar energies}

To understand how these new real-space multipole methods behave in
computer simulations, it is vital to test against established methods
for computing electrostatic interactions in periodic systems, and to
evaluate the size and sources of any errors that arise from the
real-space cutoffs. In this paper we test both TSF and GSF
electrostatics against analytical methods for computing the energies
of ordered multipolar arrays.  In the following paper, we test the new
methods against the multipolar Ewald sum for computing the energies,
forces and torques for a wide range of typical condensed-phase
(disordered) systems.

Because long-range electrostatic effects can be significant in
crystalline materials, ordered multipolar arrays present one of the
biggest challenges for real-space cutoff methods.  The dipolar
analogues to the Madelung constants were first worked out by Sauer,
who computed the energies of ordered dipole arrays of zero
magnetization and obtained a number of these constants.\cite{Sauer}
This theory was developed more completely by Luttinger and
Tisza\cite{LT,LT2} who tabulated energy constants for the Sauer arrays
and other periodic structures.  

To test the new electrostatic methods, we have constructed very large,
$N=$ 16,000~(bcc) arrays of dipoles in the orientations described in
Ref. \onlinecite{LT}.  These structures include ``A'' lattices with
nearest neighbor chains of antiparallel dipoles, as well as ``B''
lattices with nearest neighbor strings of antiparallel dipoles if the
dipoles are contained in a plane perpendicular to the dipole direction
that passes through the dipole.  We have also studied the minimum
energy structure for the BCC lattice that was found by Luttinger \&
Tisza.  The total electrostatic energy for any of the arrays is given
by:
\begin{equation}
  E = C N^2 \mu^2
\end{equation}
where $C$ is the energy constant (equivalent to the Madelung
constant), $N$ is the number of dipoles per unit volume, and $\mu$ is
the strength of the dipole. Energy constants (converged to 1 part in
$10^9$) are given in the supplemental information.

\label{fig:QuadrupolesrcutCovergence-crop.pdf}
\end{figure}
For the purposes of testing the energy expressions and the
self-neutralization schemes, the primary quantity of interest is the
analytic energy constant for the perfect arrays.  Convergence to these
constants are shown as a function of both the cutoff radius, $r_c$,
and the damping parameter, $\alpha$ in Figs.
\ref{fig:energyConstVsCutoff} and XXX. We have simultaneously tested a
hard cutoff (where the kernel is simply truncated at the cutoff
radius), as well as a shifted potential (SP) form which includes a
potential-shifting and self-interaction term, but does not shift the
forces and torques smoothly at the cutoff radius.  The SP method is
essentially an extension of the original Wolf method for multipoles.

\label{fig:Dipoles_alphaCovergence-crop.pdf}
\label{fig:Quadrupoles_alphaCovergence-crop.pdf}
\end{figure}
The Hard cutoff exhibits oscillations around the analytic energy
constants, and converges to incorrect energies when the complementary
error function damping kernel is used.  The shifted potential (SP) and
gradient-shifted force (GSF) approximations converge to the correct
energy smoothly by $r_c / 6 a$ even for the undamped case.  This
indicates that the correction provided by the self term is required
for obtaining accurate energies.  The Taylor-shifted force (TSF)
approximation appears to perturb the potential too much inside the
cutoff region to provide accurate measures of the energy constants.
{\it Quadrupolar} analogues to the Madelung constants were first
worked out by Nagai and Nakamura who computed the energies of selected
quadrupole arrays based on extensions to the Luttinger and Tisza
approach.\cite{Nagai01081960,Nagai01091963} We have compared the
energy constants for the lowest energy configurations for linear
quadrupoles.  

In analogy to the dipolar arrays, the total electrostatic energy for
the quadrupolar arrays is:
\begin{equation}
 E = C N \frac{3\bar{Q}^2}{4a^5} 
\end{equation} 
where $a$ is the lattice parameter, and $\bar{Q}$ is the effective
quadrupole moment,
\begin{equation}
\bar{Q}^2 = 2 \left(3 Q : Q - (\text{Tr} Q)^2 \right)
\end{equation}
for the primitive quadrupole as defined in Eq. \ref{eq:quadrupole}.
(For the traceless quadrupole tensor, $\Theta = 3 Q - \text{Tr} Q$,
the effective moment, $\bar{Q}^2 = \frac{2}{3} \Theta : \Theta$.)

\section{Conclusion}
We have presented two efficient real-space methods for computing the
interactions between point multipoles.  These methods have the benefit
of smoothly truncating the energies, forces, and torques at the cutoff
radius, making them attractive for both molecular dynamics (MD) and
Monte Carlo (MC) simulations.  We find that the Gradient-Shifted Force
(GSF) and the Shifted-Potential (SP) methods converge rapidly to the
correct lattice energies for ordered dipolar and quadrupolar arrays,
while the Taylor-Shifted Force (TSF) is too severe an approximation to
provide accurate convergence to lattice energies.  

In most cases, GSF can obtain nearly quantitative agreement with the
lattice energy constants with reasonably small cutoff radii.  The only
exception we have observed is for crystals which exhibit a bulk
macroscopic dipole moment (e.g. Luttinger \& Tisza's $Z_1$ lattice).
In this particular case, the multipole neutralization scheme can
interfere with the correct computation of the energies.  We note that
the energies for these arrangements are typically much larger than for
crystals with net-zero moments, so this is not expected to be an issue
in most simulations.

In large systems, these new methods can be made to scale approximately
linearly with system size, and detailed comparisons with the Ewald sum
for a wide range of chemical environments follows in the second paper.

\appendix

\section{Smith's $B_l(r)$ functions for damped-charge distributions}
\label{SmithFunc}
The following summarizes Smith's $B_l(r)$ functions and includes
formulas given in his appendix.\cite{Smith98} The first function
$B_0(r)$ is defined by
%
\begin{equation}
B_0(r)=\frac{\text{erfc}(\alpha r)}{r} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}r}=
\int_{\alpha r}^{\infty} \text{e}^{-s^2} ds .
\end{equation}
%
The first derivative of this function is
%
\begin{equation}
\frac{dB_0(r)}{dr}=-\frac{1}{r^2}\text{erfc}(\alpha r)
-\frac{2\alpha}{r\sqrt{\pi}}\text{e}^{-{\alpha}^2r^2}
\end{equation}
%
which can be used to define a function $B_1(r)$:
%
\begin{equation}
B_1(r)=-\frac{1}{r}\frac{dB_0(r)}{dr}
\end{equation}
%
In general, the recurrence relation,
\begin{equation}
B_l(r)=-\frac{1}{r}\frac{dB_{l-1}(r)}{dr} 
= \frac{1}{r^2} \left[ (2l-1)B_{l-1}(r) + \frac {(2\alpha^2)^l}{\alpha \sqrt{\pi}}
\text{e}^{-{\alpha}^2r^2}
\right] ,
\end{equation}
is very useful for building up higher derivatives.  Using these
formulas, we find:
%
\begin{align}
\frac{dB_0}{dr}=&-rB_1(r) \\
\frac{d^2B_0}{dr^2}=&    - B_1(r) + r^2 B_2(r) \\
\frac{d^3B_0}{dr^3}=&   3 r B_2(r) - r^3 B_3(r) \\
\frac{d^4B_0}{dr^4}=&   3 B_2(r) - 6 r^2 B_3(r) + r^4 B_4(r) \\
\frac{d^5B_0}{dr^5}=& - 15 r B_3(r) + 10 r^3 B_4(r) - r^5 B_5(r) .
\end{align}
%
As noted by Smith, it is possible to approximate the $B_l(r)$
functions, 
%
\begin{equation}
B_l(r)=\frac{(2l)!}{l!2^lr^{2l+1}} - \frac {(2\alpha^2)^{l+1}}{(2l+1)\alpha \sqrt{\pi}}
+\text{O}(r) .
\end{equation}
\newpage
\section{The $r$-dependent factors for TSF electrostatics}

Using the shifted damped functions $f_n(r)$ defined by:
%
\begin{equation}
f_n(r)= B_0(r) -\sum_{m=0}^{n+1} \frac {(r-r_c)^m}{m!} B_0^{(m)}(r_c)  ,
\end{equation}
%
where the superscript $(m)$ denotes the $m^\mathrm{th}$ derivative. In
this Appendix, we provide formulas for successive derivatives of this
function.  (If there is no damping, then $B_0(r)$ is replaced by
$1/r$.)  First, we find:
%
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial f_n}{\partial r_\alpha}=\hat{r}_\alpha \frac{d f_n}{d r} .
\end{equation}
%
This formula clearly brings in derivatives of Smith's $B_0(r)$
function, and we define higher-order derivatives as follows:
%
\begin{align}
g_n(r)=& \frac{d f_n}{d r} =
B_0^{(1)}(r) -\sum_{m=0}^{n} \frac {(r-r_c)^m}{m!} B_0^{(m+1)}(r_c) \\
h_n(r)=& \frac{d^2f_n}{d r^2} =
B_0^{(2)}(r) -\sum_{m=0}^{n-1} \frac {(r-r_c)^m}{m!} B_0^{(m+2)}(r_c) \\
s_n(r)=& \frac{d^3f_n}{d r^3} =
B_0^{(3)}(r) -\sum_{m=0}^{n-2} \frac {(r-r_c)^m}{m!} B_0^{(m+3)}(r_c) \\
t_n(r)=& \frac{d^4f_n}{d r^4} =
B_0^{(4)}(r) -\sum_{m=0}^{n-3} \frac {(r-r_c)^m}{m!} B_0^{(m+4)}(r_c) \\
u_n(r)=& \frac{d^5f_n}{d r^5} =
B_0^{(5)}(r) -\sum_{m=0}^{n-4} \frac {(r-r_c)^m}{m!} B_0^{(m+5)}(r_c)  .
\end{align}
%
We note that the last function needed (for quadrupole-quadrupole interactions) is
%
\begin{equation}
u_4(r)=B_0^{(5)}(r) - B_0^{(5)}(r_c) .
\end{equation}
% The functions
% needed are listed schematically below:
% %
% \begin{eqnarray}
% f_0 \quad f_1 \qquad \qquad \quad & \nonumber \\
% g_0 \quad g_1 \quad g_2 \quad g_3 \quad &g_4 \nonumber \\
% h_1 \quad h_2 \quad h_3 \quad &h_4 \nonumber \\
% s_2 \quad s_3 \quad &s_4 \nonumber \\
% t_3 \quad &t_4 \nonumber \\
% &u_4 \nonumber .
% \end{eqnarray}
The functions $f_n(r)$ to $u_n(r)$ can be computed recursively and
stored on a grid for values of $r$ from $0$ to $r_c$.  Using these
functions, we find
%
\begin{align}
\frac{\partial f_n}{\partial r_\alpha} =&r_\alpha \frac {g_n}{r} \label{eq:b9}\\
\frac{\partial^2 f_n}{\partial r_\alpha \partial r_\beta} =&\delta_{\alpha \beta}\frac {g_n}{r} 
+r_\alpha r_\beta \left( -\frac{g_n}{r^3} +\frac{h_n}{r^2}\right) \\
\frac{\partial^3 f_n}{\partial r_\alpha \partial r_\beta \partial r_\gamma} =&
\left( \delta_{\alpha \beta} r_\gamma + \delta_{\alpha \gamma} r_\beta + 
\delta_{ \beta \gamma} r_\alpha \right)  
\left(  -\frac{g_n}{r^3} +\frac{h_n}{r^2} \right) \nonumber \\
& + r_\alpha r_\beta r_\gamma 
\left(  \frac{3g_n}{r^5}-\frac{3h_n}{r^4} +\frac{s_n}{r^3} \right) \\
\frac{\partial^4 f_n}{\partial r_\alpha \partial r_\beta \partial
  r_\gamma \partial r_\delta} =& 
\left( \delta_{\alpha \beta} \delta_{\gamma \delta} 
+ \delta_{\alpha \gamma} \delta_{\beta \delta}
 +\delta_{ \beta \gamma} \delta_{\alpha \delta} \right)
\left( - \frac{g_n}{r^3} + \frac{h_n}{r^2} \right)  \nonumber \\

\frac{\partial^5 f_n}
{\partial r_\alpha \partial r_\beta \partial r_\gamma \partial
  r_\delta \partial r_\epsilon} =&

\section{The $r$-dependent factors for GSF electrostatics}

In Gradient-shifted force electrostatics, the kernel is not expanded,
rather the individual terms in the multipole interaction energies.
For damped charges , this still brings into the algebra multiple
derivatives of the Smith's $B_0(r)$ function.  To denote these terms,
we generalize the notation of the previous appendix.  For either
$f(r)=1/r$ (undamped) or $f(r)=B_0(r)$ (damped),
%
\begin{align}
g(r)=& \frac{df}{d r}\\
h(r)=& \frac{dg}{d r} = \frac{d^2f}{d r^2} \\
s(r)=& \frac{dh}{d r} = \frac{d^3f}{d r^3} \\
t(r)=& \frac{ds}{d r} = \frac{d^4f}{d r^4} \\
u(r)=& \frac{dt}{d r} = \frac{d^5f}{d r^5} .
\end{align}
%
For undamped charges Table I lists these derivatives under the column
``Bare Coulomb.''  Equations \ref{eq:b9} to \ref{eq:b13} are still
correct for GSF electrostatics if the subscript $n$ is eliminated.
