As in the crystals studied in the first paper, damping is important |

for converging the mean electrostatic energy values, particularly for |
| 964 |

0.3$, causing the estimate of the electrostatic energy to drop below |
| 965 |

be \textit{overdamped}, which reduces the effective range of multipole |

interactions, causing structural and dynamical changes from the |

orientational decay coupled with faster diffusion and |

still reproduce the Ewald results even in the completely undamped |

\section{CONCLUSION} |
| 1054 |
|
In the first paper in this series, we generalized the |
| 1073 |
|
sphere to derive shifted force and torque expressions, and is a |
| 1074 |
|
significantly more gentle approach. |
| 1075 |
|
|
| 1076 |
< |
The GSF method produced quantitative agreement with Ewald energy, |
| 1077 |
< |
force, and torques. It also performs well in conserving energy in MD |

forcse, and torques. It also performs well in conserving energy in MD |
| 1078 |
|
simulations. The Taylor-shifted (TSF) model provides smooth dynamics, |
| 1079 |
|
but these take place on a potential energy surface that is |
| 1080 |
|
significantly perturbed from Ewald-based electrostatics. Because it |
| 1086 |
|
method also has the unique property that a large number of derivatives |
| 1087 |
|
can be made to vanish at the cutoff radius. This property has proven |
| 1088 |
|
useful in past treatments of the corrections to the fluctuation |
| 1089 |
< |
formula for dielectric constants.\cite{Izvekov:2008wo} |

|
Reproduction of both structural and dynamical features in the liquid |
| 1092 |
|
systems is remarkably good for both the SP and GSF models. Pair |
| 1117 |
|
important. Both the SP and GSF methods retain excellent fidelity to |
| 1118 |
|
the Ewald energies, forces and torques. Additionally, the energy |
| 1119 |
|
drift and fluctuations from the GSF electrostatics are significantly |
| 1120 |
< |
better than a multipolar Ewald sum for finite-sized reciprocal spaces. |
| 1120 |
> |
better than a multipolar Ewald sum for finite-sized reciprocal spaces, |
| 1121 |
> |
and physical properties are reproduced accurately. |
| 1122 |
|
|
| 1123 |
|
As in all purely pairwise cutoff methods, the SP, GSF and TSF methods |
| 1124 |
|
are expected to scale approximately {\it linearly} with system size, |
