67 < We have tested our recently developed shifted potential, gradient-shifted force, and Taylor-shifted force methods for the higher-order multipoles against Ewald’s method in different types of liquid and crystalline system. In this paper, we have also investigated the conservation of total energy in the molecular dynamic simulation using all of these methods. The shifted potential method shows better agreement with the Ewald in the energy differences between different configurations as compared to the direct truncation. Both the gradient shifted force and Taylor-shifted force methods reproduce very good energy conservation. But the absolute energy, force and torque evaluated from the gradient shifted force method shows better result as compared to taylor-shifted force method. Hence the gradient-shifted force method suitably mimics the electrostatic interaction in the molecular dynamic simulation.

94   Computing the interactions between electrostatic sites is one of the
95 < most expensive aspects of molecular simulations, which is why there
96 < have been significant efforts to develop practical, efficient and
97 < convergent methods for handling these interactions. Ewald's method is
98 < perhaps the best known and most accurate method for evaluating
99 < energies, forces, and torques in explicitly-periodic simulation
100 < cells. In this approach, the conditionally convergent electrostatic
101 < energy is converted into two absolutely convergent contributions, one
102 < which is carried out in real space with a cutoff radius, and one in
103 < reciprocal space.\cite{Clarke:1986eu,Woodcock75}

131   \subsection{Real-space methods}
132   Wolf \textit{et al.}\cite{Wolf:1999dn} proposed a real space $O(N)$
133   method for calculating electrostatic interactions between point
134 < charges. They argued that the effective Coulomb interaction in
135 < condensed systems is actually short ranged.\cite{Wolf92,Wolf95}.  For
136 < an ordered lattice (e.g. when computing the Madelung constant of an
137 < ionic solid), the material can be considered as a set of ions
138 < interacting with neutral dipolar or quadrupolar ``molecules'' giving
139 < an effective distance dependence for the electrostatic interactions of
140 < $r^{-5}$ (see figure \ref{fig:NaCl}.  For this reason, careful
141 < applications of Wolf's method are able to obtain accurate estimates of
142 < Madelung constants using relatively short cutoff radii.  Recently,
143 < Fukuda used neutralization of the higher order moments for the
144 < calculation of the electrostatic interaction of the point charges
145 < system.\cite{Fukuda:2013sf}
134 > charges. They argued that the effective Coulomb interaction in most
135 > condensed phase systems is effectively short
136 > ranged.\cite{Wolf92,Wolf95} For an ordered lattice (e.g., when
137 > computing the Madelung constant of an ionic solid), the material can
138 > be considered as a set of ions interacting with neutral dipolar or
139 > quadrupolar ``molecules'' giving an effective distance dependence for
140 > the electrostatic interactions of $r^{-5}$ (see figure
141 > \ref{fig:schematic}). If one views the \ce{NaCl} crystal as a simple
142 > cubic (SC) structure with an octupolar \ce{(NaCl)4} basis, the
143 > electrostatic energy per ion converges more rapidly to the Madelung
144 > energy than the dipolar approximation.\cite{Wolf92} To find the
145 > correct Madelung constant, Lacman suggested that the NaCl structure
146 > could be constructed in a way that the finite crystal terminates with
147 > complete \ce{(NaCl)4} molecules.\cite{Lacman65} The central ion sees
148 > what is effectively a set of octupoles at large distances. These facts
149 > suggest that the Madelung constants are relatively short ranged for
150 > perfect ionic crystals.\cite{Wolf:1999dn} For this reason, careful
151 > application of Wolf's method can provide accurate estimates of

158 <
159 < Considering the interaction of one central ion in an ionic crystal
160 < with a portion of the crystal at some distance, the effective Columbic
161 < potential is found to be decreasing as $r^{-5}$. If one views the
162 < \ce{NaCl} crystal as simple cubic (SC) structure with an octupolar
163 < \ce{(NaCl)4} basis, the electrostatic energy per ion converges more
164 < rapidly to the Madelung energy than the dipolar
165 < approximation.\cite{Wolf92} To find the correct Madelung constant,
166 < Lacman suggested that the NaCl structure could be constructed in a way
167 < that the finite crystal terminates with complete \ce{(NaCl)4}
168 < molecules.\cite{Lacman65} Any charge in a NaCl crystal is surrounded
169 < by opposite charges. Similarly for each pair of charges, there is an
170 < opposite pair of charge adjacent to it.  The central ion sees what is
171 < effectively a set of octupoles at large distances. These facts suggest
172 < that the Madelung constants are relatively short ranged for perfect
173 < ionic crystals.\cite{Wolf:1999dn}

175 < One can make a similar argument for crystals of point multipoles. The

181 < multipoles.  The effective interaction between a dipole at the center

199 > structures are built out of basis vectors that have only residual
200 > quadrupolar moments (e.g. the $Z_5$ array). In these low energy
201 > structures, the effective interaction between a dipole at the center
202   of a crystal and a group of eight dipoles farther away is
203   significantly shorter ranged than the $r^{-3}$ that one would expect
204   for raw dipole-dipole interactions.  Only in crystals which retain a

210   In ionic crystals, real-space truncation can break the effective
211 < multipolar arrangements (see Fig. \ref{fig:NaCl}), causing significant
212 < swings in the electrostatic energy as the cutoff radius is increased
213 < (or as individual ions move back and forth across the boundary).  This

219 + The shorter effective range of electrostatic interactions is not
220 + limited to perfect crystals, but can also apply in disordered fluids.
221 + Even at elevated temperatures, there is local charge balance in an

256   \subsection{The damping function}
257 < The damping function used in our research has been discussed in detail
258 < in the first paper of this series.\cite{PaperI} The radial kernel
259 < $1/r$ for the interactions between point charges can be replaced by
260 < the complementary error function $\mathrm{erfc}(\alpha r)/r$ to
261 < accelerate the rate of convergence, where $\alpha$ is a damping
262 < parameter with units of inverse distance.  Altering the value of
263 < $\alpha$ is equivalent to changing the width of Gaussian charge
264 < distributions that replace each point charge -- Gaussian overlap
265 < integrals yield complementary error functions when truncated at a
266 < finite distance.

268 < By using suitable value of damping alpha ($\alpha \sim 0.2$) for a
269 < cutoff radius ($r_{­c}=9 A$), Fennel and Gezelter produced very good
270 < agreement with SPME for the interaction energies, forces and torques

272  
273   \subsection{Point multipoles in molecular modeling}
274   Coarse-graining approaches which treat entire molecular subsystems as
275   a single rigid body are now widely used. A common feature of many
276   coarse-graining approaches is simplification of the electrostatic
277   interactions between bodies so that fewer site-site interactions are
278 < required to compute configurational energies.  Many coarse-grained
279 < molecular structures would normally consist of equal positive and
246 < negative charges, and rather than use multiple site-site interactions,
247 < the interaction between higher order multipoles can also be used to
248 < evaluate a single molecule-molecule
249 < interaction.\cite{Ren06,Essex10,Essex11}
278 > required to compute configurational
279 > energies.\cite{Ren06,Essex10,Essex11}
280  
281 < Because electrons in a molecule are not localized at specific points,
282 < the assignment of partial charges to atomic centers is a relatively
283 < rough approximation.  Atomic sites can also be assigned point
284 < multipoles and polarizabilities to increase the accuracy of the
285 < molecular model.  Recently, water has been modeled with point
286 < multipoles up to octupolar
287 < order.\cite{Ichiye10_1,Ichiye10_2,Ichiye10_3} Atom-centered point

286 > using the soft sticky dipole-quadrupole-octupole (SSDQO)
287 > model.\cite{Ichiye10_1,Ichiye10_2,Ichiye10_3} Atom-centered point
288   multipoles up to quadrupolar order have also been coupled with point

763 < %The correlation coefficient ($R^2$) and slope of the linear regression plots for the energy differences for all six different molecular systems is shown in figure 4a and 4b.The plot shows that the correlation coefficient improves for the SP cutoff method as compared to the undamped hard cutoff method in the case of SSDQC, SSDQ, dipolar crystal, and dipolar liquid. For the quadrupolar crystal and liquid, the correlation coefficient is almost unchanged and close to 1.  The correlation coefficient is smallest (0.696276 for $r_c$ = 9 $A^o$) for the SSDQC liquid because of the presence of charge-charge and charge-multipole interactions. Since the charge-charge and charge-multipole interaction is long ranged, there is huge deviation of correlation coefficient from 1. Similarly, the quarupole–quadrupole interaction is short ranged ($\sim 1/r^6$) with compared to interactions in the other multipolar systems, thus the correlation coefficient very close to 1 even for hard cutoff method. The idea of placing image multipole on the surface of the cutoff sphere improves the correlation coefficient and makes it close to 1 for all types of multipolar systems. Similarly the slope is hugely deviated from the correct value for the lower order multipole-multipole interaction and slightly deviated for higher order multipole – multipole interaction. The SP method improves both correlation coefficient ($R^2$) and slope significantly in SSDQC and dipolar systems.  The Slope is found to be deviated more in dipolar crystal as compared to liquid which is associated with the large fluctuation in the electrostatic energy in crystal. The GSF also produced better values of correlation coefficient and slope with the proper selection of the damping alpha (Interested reader can consult accompanying supporting material). The TSF method gives good value of correlation coefficient for the dipolar crystal, dipolar liquid, SSDQ, and SSDQC (not for the quadrupolar crystal and liquid) but the regression slopes are significantly deviated.

801 < The combined correlation coefficient and slope for all six systems is shown in Figure ~\ref{fig:slopeCorr_energy}. The correlation coefficient for the undamped hard cutoff method is does not have good agreement with the Ewald because of the fluctuation of the electrostatic energy in the direct truncation method. This deviation in correlation coefficient is improved by using SP, GSF, and TSF method. But the TSF method worsens the regression slope stating that this method produces statistically more biased result as compared to Ewald. Also the GSF method slightly deviate slope but it can be alleviated by using proper value of damping alpha and cutoff radius. The SP method shows good agreement with Ewald method for all values of damping alpha and radii.
802 < \subsection{Magnitude of the force and torque vectors}
803 < The comparison of the magnitude of the combined forces and torques for the data accumulated from all system types are shown in Figure ~\ref{fig:slopeCorr_force}. The correlation and slope for the forces agree with the Ewald even for the hard cutoff method. For the system of molecules with higher order multipoles, the interaction is short ranged. Moreover, the force decays more rapidly than the electrostatic energy hence the hard cutoff method also produces good results. Although the pure cutoff gives the good match of the electrostatic force, the discontinuity in the force at the cutoff radius causes problem in the total energy conservation in MD simulations, which will be discussed in detail in subsection D. The correlation coefficient for GSF method also perfectly matches with Ewald but the slope is slightly deviated (due to extra term obtained from the angular differentiation). This deviation in the slope can be alleviated with proper selection of the damping alpha and radii ($\alpha = 0.2$ and $r_c = 12 A^o$ are good choice). The TSF method shows good agreement in the correlation coefficient but the slope is not good as compared to the Ewald.

810 < The torques appears to be very influenced because of extra term generated when the potential energy is modified to get consistent force and torque.  The result shows that the torque from the hard cutoff method has good agreement with Ewald. As the potential is modified to make it consistent with the force and torque, the correlation and slope is deviated as shown in Figure~\ref{fig:slopeCorr_torque} for SP, GSF and TSF cutoff methods.  But the proper value of the damping alpha and radius can improve the agreement of the GSF with the Ewald method. The TSF method shows worst agreement in the slope as compared to Ewald even for larger cutoff radii.

817 < \subsection{Directionality of the force and torque vectors}  
818 < The accurate evaluation of the direction of the force and torques are also important for the dynamic simulation.In our research, the direction data sets were computed from the purposed method and compared with Ewald using Fisher statistics and results are expressed in terms of circular variance ($Var(\theta$).The force and torque vectors from the purposed method followed Fisher probability distribution function expressed in equation~\ref{eq:pdf}. The circular variance for the force and torque vectors of each molecule in the 250 configurations for all system types is shown in Figure~\ref{fig:slopeCorr_circularVariance}. The direction of the force and torque vectors from hard and SP cutoff methods showed best directional agreement with the Ewald. The force and torque vectors from GSF method also showed good agreement with the Ewald method, which can also be improved by varying damping alpha and cutoff radius.For $\alpha = 0.2$ and $r_c = 12 A^o$, $ Var(\theta) $ for direction of the force was found to be 0.002061 and corresponding value of $\kappa $ was 485.20. Integration of equation ~\ref{eq:pdf} for that corresponding value of $\kappa$ showed that 95\% of force vectors are with in $6.37^o$. The TSF method is the poorest in evaluating accurate direction with compared to Hard, SP, and GSF methods. The circular variance for the direction of the torques is larger as compared to force. For same $\alpha = 0.2, r_c = 12 A^o$ and GSF method, the circular variance was 0.01415, which showed 95\% of torque vectors are within $16.75^o$.The direction of the force and torque vectors can be improved by varying $\alpha$ and $r_c$.

821  
822 + The TSF method produces energy differences that are highly correlated
823 + with the Ewald results, but it also introduces a significant
824 + systematic bias in the values of the energies, particularly for
825 + smaller cutoff values. The TSF method alters the distance dependence
826 + of different orientational contributions to the energy in a
827 + non-uniform way, so the size of the cutoff sphere can have a large
828 + effect, particularly for the crystalline systems.
829 +
830 + Both the SP and GSF methods appear to reproduce the Ewald results with
831 + excellent fidelity, particularly for moderate damping ($\alpha =
832 + 0.1-0.2$\AA$^{-1}$) and with a commonly-used cutoff value ($r_c =
833 + 12$\AA).  With the exception of the undamped hard cutoff, and the TSF
834 + method with short cutoffs, all of the methods would be appropriate for
835 + use in Monte Carlo simulations.
836 +
837 + \subsection{Magnitude of the force and torque vectors}
838 +
839 + The comparisons of the magnitudes of the forces and torques for the
840 + data accumulated from all six systems are shown in Figures
841 + ~\ref{fig:slopeCorr_force} and \ref{fig:slopeCorr_torque}. The
842 + correlation and slope for the forces agree well with the Ewald sum
843 + even for the hard cutoffs.
844 +
845 + For systems of molecules with only multipolar interactions, the pair
846 + energy contributions are quite short ranged.  Moreover, the force
847 + decays more rapidly than the electrostatic energy, hence the hard
848 + cutoff method can also produce reasonable agreement for this quantity.
849 + Although the pure cutoff gives reasonably good electrostatic forces
850 + for pairs of molecules included within each other's cutoff spheres,
851 + the discontinuity in the force at the cutoff radius can potentially
852 + cause energy conservation problems as molecules enter and leave the
853 + cutoff spheres.  This is discussed in detail in section
854 + \ref{sec:conservation}.
855 +
856 + The two shifted-force methods (GSF and TSF) exhibit a small amount of
857 + systematic variation and scatter compared with the Ewald forces.  The
858 + shifted-force models intentionally perturb the forces between pairs of
859 + molecules inside each other's cutoff spheres in order to correct the
860 + energy conservation issues, and this perturbation is evident in the
861 + statistics accumulated for the molecular forces.  The GSF
862 + perturbations are minimal, particularly for moderate damping and
863 + commonly-used cutoff values ($r_c = 12$\AA).  The TSF method shows
864 + reasonable agreement in the correlation coefficient but again the
865 + systematic error in the forces is concerning if replication of Ewald
866 + forces is desired.

874 < \subsection{Total energy conservation}
875 < We have tested the conservation of energy in the SSDQC liquid system by running system for 1ns in the Hard, SP, GSF and TSF method. The Hard cutoff method shows very high energy drifts 433.53 KCal/Mol/ns/particle and energy fluctuation 32574.53 Kcal/Mol (measured by the SD from the slope) for the undamped case, which makes it completely unusable in MD simulations. The SP method also shows large value of energy drift 1.289 Kcal/Mol/ns/particle and energy fluctuation 0.01953 Kcal/Mol. The energy fluctuation in the SP method is due to the non-vanishing nature of the torque and force at the cutoff radius. We can improve the energy conservation in some extent by the proper selection of the damping alpha but the improvement is not good enough, which can be observed in Figure 9a and 9b .The GSF and TSF shows very low value of energy drift 0.09016, 0.07371 KCal/Mol/ns/particle and fluctuation 3.016E-6, 1.217E-6 Kcal/Mol respectively for the undamped case. Since the absolute value of the evaluated electrostatic energy, force and torque from TSF method are deviated from the Ewald, it does not mimic MD simulations appropriately. The electrostatic energy, force and torque from the GSF method have very good agreement with the Ewald. In addition, the energy drift and energy fluctuation from the GSF method is much better than Ewald’s method for reciprocal space vector value ($k_f$) equal to 7 as shown in Figure~\ref{fig:energyDrift} and ~\ref{fig:fluctuation}. We can improve the total energy fluctuation and drift for the Ewald’s method by increasing size of the reciprocal space, which extremely increseses the simulation time. In our current simulation, the simulation time for the Hard, SP, and GSF methods are about 5.5 times faster than the Ewald method.

1153   \section{CONCLUSION}
1154 < We have generalized the charged neutralized potential energy originally developed by the Wolf et al.\cite{Wolf:1999dn} for the charge-charge interaction to the charge-multipole and multipole-multipole interaction in the SP method for higher order multipoles. Also, we have developed GSF and TSF methods by implementing the modification purposed by Fennel and Gezelter\cite{Fennell:2006lq} for the charge-charge interaction to the higher order multipoles to ensure consistency and smooth truncation of the electrostatic energy, force, and torque for the spherical truncation. The SP methods for multipoles proved its suitability in MC simulations. On the other hand, the results from the GSF method produced good agreement with the Ewald's energy, force, and torque. Also, it shows very good energy conservation in MD simulations.
1155 < The direct truncation of any molecular system without multipole neutralization creates the fluctuation in the electrostatic energy. This fluctuation in the energy is very large for the case of crystal because of long range of multipole ordering (Refer paper I).\cite{PaperI} This is also significant in the case of the liquid because of the local multipole ordering in the molecules. If the net multipole within cutoff radius neutralized within cutoff sphere by placing image multiples on the surface of the sphere, this fluctuation in the energy reduced significantly. Also, the multipole neutralization in the generalized SP method showed very good agreement with the Ewald as compared to direct truncation for the evaluation of the $\triangle E$ between the configurations.
1156 < In MD simulations, the energy conservation is very important. The
1157 < conservation of the total energy can be ensured by  i) enforcing the
1158 < smooth truncation of the energy, force and torque in the cutoff radius
1159 < and ii) making the energy, force and torque consistent with each
1160 < other. The GSF and TSF methods ensure the consistency and smooth
1161 < truncation of the energy, force and torque at the cutoff radius, as a
1162 < result show very good total energy conservation. But the TSF method
705 < does not show good agreement in the absolute value of the
706 < electrostatic energy, force and torque with the Ewald.  The GSF method
707 < has mimicked Ewald’s force, energy and torque accurately and also
708 < conserved energy. Therefore, the GSF method is the suitable method for
709 < evaluating required force field in MD simulations. In addition, the
710 < energy drift and fluctuation from the GSF method is much better than
711 < Ewald’s method for finite-sized reciprocal space.
1154 > In the first paper in this series, we generalized the
1155 > charge-neutralized electrostatic energy originally developed by Wolf
1156 > \textit{et al.}\cite{Wolf:1999dn} to multipole-multipole interactions
1157 > up to quadrupolar order.  The SP method is essentially a
1158 > multipole-capable version of the Wolf model.  The SP method for
1159 > multipoles provides excellent agreement with Ewald-derived energies,
1160 > forces and torques, and is suitable for Monte Carlo simulations,
1161 > although the forces and torques retain discontinuities at the cutoff
1162 > distance that prevents its use in molecular dynamics.
1163  
1164 < Note that the TSF, GSF, and SP models are $\mathcal{O}(N)$ methods
1165 < that can be made extremely efficient using spline interpolations of
1166 < the radial functions.  They require no Fourier transforms or $k$-space
1167 < sums, and guarantee the smooth handling of energies, forces, and
1168 < torques as multipoles cross the real-space cutoff boundary.  
1164 > We also developed two natural extensions of the damped shifted-force
1165 > (DSF) model originally proposed by Fennel and
1166 > Gezelter.\cite{Fennell:2006lq} The GSF and TSF approaches provide
1167 > smooth truncation of energies, forces, and torques at the real-space
1168 > cutoff, and both converge to DSF electrostatics for point-charge
1169 > interactions.  The TSF model is based on a high-order truncated Taylor
1170 > expansion which can be relatively perturbative inside the cutoff
1171 > sphere.  The GSF model takes the gradient from an images of the
1172 > interacting multipole that has been projected onto the cutoff sphere
1173 > to derive shifted force and torque expressions, and is a significantly
1174 > more gentle approach.
1175  
1176 + Of the two newly-developed shifted force models, the GSF method
1177 + produced quantitative agreement with Ewald energy, force, and torques.
1178 + It also performs well in conserving energy in MD simulations.  The
1179 + Taylor-shifted (TSF) model provides smooth dynamics, but these take
1180 + place on a potential energy surface that is significantly perturbed
1181 + from Ewald-based electrostatics.  
1182 +
1183 + % The direct truncation of any electrostatic potential energy without
1184 + % multipole neutralization creates large fluctuations in molecular
1185 + % simulations.  This fluctuation in the energy is very large for the case
1186 + % of crystal because of long range of multipole ordering (Refer paper
1187 + % I).\cite{PaperI} This is also significant in the case of the liquid
1188 + % because of the local multipole ordering in the molecules. If the net
1189 + % multipole within cutoff radius neutralized within cutoff sphere by
1190 + % placing image multiples on the surface of the sphere, this fluctuation
1191 + % in the energy reduced significantly. Also, the multipole
1192 + % neutralization in the generalized SP method showed very good agreement
1193 + % with the Ewald as compared to direct truncation for the evaluation of
1194 + % the $\triangle E$ between the configurations.  In MD simulations, the
1195 + % energy conservation is very important. The conservation of the total
1196 + % energy can be ensured by i) enforcing the smooth truncation of the
1197 + % energy, force and torque in the cutoff radius and ii) making the
1198 + % energy, force and torque consistent with each other. The GSF and TSF
1199 + % methods ensure the consistency and smooth truncation of the energy,
1200 + % force and torque at the cutoff radius, as a result show very good
1201 + % total energy conservation. But the TSF method does not show good
1202 + % agreement in the absolute value of the electrostatic energy, force and
1203 + % torque with the Ewald.  The GSF method has mimicked Ewald’s force,
1204 + % energy and torque accurately and also conserved energy.
1205 +
1206 + The only cases we have found where the new GSF and SP real-space
1207 + methods can be problematic are those which retain a bulk dipole moment
1208 + at large distances (e.g. the $Z_1$ dipolar lattice).  In ferroelectric
1209 + materials, uniform weighting of the orientational contributions can be
1210 + important for converging the total energy.  In these cases, the
1211 + damping function which causes the non-uniform weighting can be
1212 + replaced by the bare electrostatic kernel, and the energies return to
1213 + the expected converged values.
1214 +
1215 + Based on the results of this work, the GSF method is a suitable and
1216 + efficient replacement for the Ewald sum for evaluating electrostatic
1217 + interactions in MD simulations.  Both methods retain excellent
1218 + fidelity to the Ewald energies, forces and torques.  Additionally, the
1219 + energy drift and fluctuations from the GSF electrostatics are better
1220 + than a multipolar Ewald sum for finite-sized reciprocal spaces.
1221 + Because they use real-space cutoffs with moderate cutoff radii, the
1222 + GSF and SP models approach $\mathcal{O}(N)$ scaling as the system size
1223 + increases.  Additionally, they can be made extremely efficient using
1224 + spline interpolations of the radial functions.  They require no
1225 + Fourier transforms or $k$-space sums, and guarantee the smooth
1226 + handling of energies, forces, and torques as multipoles cross the
1227 + real-space cutoff boundary.
