As a special discipline of molecular modeling, Molecular dynamics |

has proven to be a powerful tool for studying the functions of |

biological systems, providing structural, thermodynamic and |

Closely related to Classical Mechanics, Molecular Dynamics |
| 7 |
|
simulations are carried out by integrating the equations of motion |
| 8 |
|
for a given system of particles. There are three fundamental ideas |
| 14 |
|
when further combine with the laws of mechanics will also be |
| 15 |
|
sufficient to predict the future behavior of the system. |

The discovery of Newton's three laws of mechanics which govern the |
| 19 |
> |
motion of particles is the foundation of the classical mechanics. |
| 20 |
> |
Newton¡¯s first law defines a class of inertial frames. Inertial |
| 21 |
> |
frames are reference frames where a particle not interacting with |
| 22 |
> |
other bodies will move with constant speed in the same direction. |
| 23 |
> |
With respect to inertial frames Newton¡¯s second law has the form |
| 24 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 25 |
> |
F = \frac {dp}{dt} = \frac {mv}{dt} |
| 26 |
> |
\label{introEquation:newtonSecondLaw} |
| 27 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 28 |
> |
A point mass interacting with other bodies moves with the |
| 29 |
> |
acceleration along the direction of the force acting on it. Let |
| 30 |
> |
$F_ij$ be the force that particle $i$ exerts on particle $j$, and |
| 31 |
> |
$F_ji$ be the force that particle $j$ exerts on particle $i$. |
| 32 |
> |
Newton¡¯s third law states that |
| 33 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 34 |
> |
F_ij = -F_ji |
| 35 |

\subsubsection{\label{introSection:lagrangian}Lagrangian Mechanics} |

Conservation laws of Newtonian Mechanics play very important roles |
| 39 |
> |
in solving mechanics problems. The linear momentum of a particle is |
| 40 |
> |
conserved if it is free or it experiences no force. The second |
| 41 |
> |
conservation theorem concerns the angular momentum of a particle. |
| 42 |
> |
The angular momentum $L$ of a particle with respect to an origin |
| 43 |
> |
from which $r$ is measured is defined to be |
| 44 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 45 |
> |
L \equiv r \times p \label{introEquation:angularMomentumDefinition} |
| 46 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 47 |
> |
The torque $\tau$ with respect to the same origin is defined to be |
| 48 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 49 |
> |
N \equiv r \times F \label{introEquation:torqueDefinition} |
| 50 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 51 |
> |
Differentiating Eq.~\ref{introEquation:angularMomentumDefinition}, |
| 52 |
> |
\[ |
| 53 |
> |
\dot L = \frac{d}{{dt}}(r \times p) = (\dot r \times p) + (r \times |
| 54 |
> |
\dot p) |
| 55 |
> |
\] |
| 56 |
> |
since |
| 57 |
> |
\[ |
| 58 |
> |
\dot r \times p = \dot r \times mv = m\dot r \times \dot r \equiv 0 |
| 59 |
> |
\] |
| 60 |
> |
thus, |
| 61 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 62 |
> |
\dot L = r \times \dot p = N |
| 63 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 64 |
> |
If there are no external torques acting on a body, the angular |
| 65 |
> |
momentum of it is conserved. The last conservation theorem state |
| 66 |
> |
that if all forces are conservative, Energy |
| 67 |
> |
\begin{equation}E = T + V \label{introEquation:energyConservation} |
| 68 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 69 |
> |
is conserved. All of these conserved quantities are |
| 70 |
> |
important factors to determine the quality of numerical integration |
| 71 |

scheme for rigid body \cite{Dullweber1997}. |

|
Newtonian Mechanics suffers from two important limitations: it |
| 76 |
|
describes their motion in special cartesian coordinate systems. |
| 77 |
|
Another limitation of Newtonian mechanics becomes obvious when we |
| 83 |
|
which arise in attempts to apply Newton's equation to complex |
| 84 |
|
system, alternative procedures may be developed. |

|
|
| 89 |
|
Hamilton introduced the dynamical principle upon which it is |
| 93 |
|
The actual trajectory, along which a dynamical system may move from |
| 94 |
|
one point to another within a specified time, is derived by finding |
| 95 |
|
the path which minimizes the time integral of the difference between |
| 96 |
< |
the kinetic, $K$, and potential energies, $U$. |
| 96 |

the kinetic, $K$, and potential energies, $U$ \cite{tolman79}. |

\subsection{\label{introSection:hamiltonian}Hamiltonian Mechanics} |
| 131 |
|
|
| 132 |
|
Arising from Lagrangian Mechanics, Hamiltonian Mechanics was |
| 133 |
|
introduced by William Rowan Hamilton in 1833 as a re-formulation of |
| 138 |
|
p_i = \frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot q_i} |
| 139 |
|
\label{introEquation:generalizedMomenta} |
| 140 |
|
\end{equation} |
| 141 |
< |
With the help of these momenta, we may now define a new quantity $H$ |
| 94 |
< |
by the equation |
| 141 |
> |
The Lagrange equations of motion are then expressed by |
| 142 |
|
\begin{equation} |
| 143 |
< |
H = p_1 \dot q_1 + \ldots + p_f \dot q_f - L, |
| 143 |
> |
p_i = \frac{{\partial L}}{{\partial q_i }} |
| 144 |
> |
\label{introEquation:generalizedMomentaDot} |
| 145 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 146 |
> |
|
| 147 |
> |
With the help of the generalized momenta, we may now define a new |
| 148 |
> |
quantity $H$ by the equation |
| 149 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 150 |
> |
H = \sum\limits_k {p_k \dot q_k } - L , |
| 151 |
|
\label{introEquation:hamiltonianDefByLagrangian} |
| 152 |
|
\end{equation} |
| 153 |
|
where $ \dot q_1 \ldots \dot q_f $ are generalized velocities and |
| 154 |
|
$L$ is the Lagrangian function for the system. |
| 155 |
|
|
| 156 |
+ |
Differentiating Eq.~\ref{introEquation:hamiltonianDefByLagrangian}, |
| 157 |
+ |
one can obtain |
| 158 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 159 |
+ |
dH = \sum\limits_k {\left( {p_k d\dot q_k + \dot q_k dp_k - |
| 160 |
+ |
\frac{{\partial L}}{{\partial q_k }}dq_k - \frac{{\partial |
| 161 |
+ |
L}}{{\partial \dot q_k }}d\dot q_k } \right)} - \frac{{\partial |
| 162 |
+ |
L}}{{\partial t}}dt \label{introEquation:diffHamiltonian1} |
| 163 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 164 |
+ |
Making use of Eq.~\ref{introEquation:generalizedMomenta}, the |
| 165 |
+ |
second and fourth terms in the parentheses cancel. Therefore, |
| 166 |
+ |
Eq.~\ref{introEquation:diffHamiltonian1} can be rewritten as |
| 167 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 168 |
+ |
dH = \sum\limits_k {\left( {\dot q_k dp_k - \dot p_k dq_k } |
| 169 |
+ |
\right)} - \frac{{\partial L}}{{\partial t}}dt |
| 170 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:diffHamiltonian2} |
| 171 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 172 |
+ |
By identifying the coefficients of $dq_k$, $dp_k$ and dt, we can |
| 173 |
+ |
find |
| 174 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 175 |
+ |
\frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial p_k }} = q_k |
| 176 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:motionHamiltonianCoordinate} |
| 177 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 178 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 179 |
+ |
\frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial q_k }} = - p_k |
| 180 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:motionHamiltonianMomentum} |
| 181 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 182 |
+ |
and |
| 183 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 184 |
+ |
\frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial t}} = - \frac{{\partial L}}{{\partial |
| 185 |
+ |
t}} |
| 186 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:motionHamiltonianTime} |
| 187 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 188 |
+ |
|
| 189 |
+ |
Eq.~\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianCoordinate} and |
| 190 |
+ |
Eq.~\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianMomentum} are Hamilton's |
| 191 |
+ |
equation of motion. Due to their symmetrical formula, they are also |
| 192 |
+ |
known as the canonical equations of motions \cite{Goldstein01}. |
| 193 |
+ |
|
| 194 |
|
An important difference between Lagrangian approach and the |
| 195 |
|
Hamiltonian approach is that the Lagrangian is considered to be a |
| 196 |
|
function of the generalized velocities $\dot q_i$ and the |
| 200 |
|
appropriate for application to statistical mechanics and quantum |
| 201 |
|
mechanics, since it treats the coordinate and its time derivative as |
| 202 |
|
independent variables and it only works with 1st-order differential |
| 203 |
< |
equations. |
| 203 |
> |
equations\cite{Marion90}. |
| 204 |
|
|
| 205 |
+ |
In Newtonian Mechanics, a system described by conservative forces |
| 206 |
+ |
conserves the total energy \ref{introEquation:energyConservation}. |
| 207 |
+ |
It follows that Hamilton's equations of motion conserve the total |
| 208 |
+ |
Hamiltonian. |
| 209 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 210 |
+ |
\frac{{dH}}{{dt}} = \sum\limits_i {\left( {\frac{{\partial |
| 211 |
+ |
H}}{{\partial q_i }}\dot q_i + \frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial p_i |
| 212 |
+ |
}}\dot p_i } \right)} = \sum\limits_i {\left( {\frac{{\partial |
| 213 |
+ |
H}}{{\partial q_i }}\frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial p_i }} - |
| 214 |
+ |
\frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial p_i }}\frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial |
| 215 |
+ |
q_i }}} \right) = 0} \label{introEquation:conserveHalmitonian} |

\subsection{\label{introSection:symplecticManifold}Symplectic Manifold} |
| 273 |
+ |
A \emph{manifold} is an abstract mathematical space. It locally |
| 274 |
+ |
looks like Euclidean space, but when viewed globally, it may have |
| 275 |
+ |
more complicate structure. A good example of manifold is the surface |
| 276 |
+ |
of Earth. It seems to be flat locally, but it is round if viewed as |
| 277 |
+ |
a whole. A \emph{differentiable manifold} (also known as |
| 278 |
+ |
\emph{smooth manifold}) is a manifold with an open cover in which |
| 279 |
+ |
the covering neighborhoods are all smoothly isomorphic to one |
| 280 |
+ |
another. In other words,it is possible to apply calculus on |
| 281 |
+ |
\emph{differentiable manifold}. A \emph{symplectic manifold} is |
| 282 |
+ |
defined as a pair $(M, \omega)$ which consisting of a |
| 283 |
+ |
\emph{differentiable manifold} $M$ and a close, non-degenerated, |
| 284 |
+ |
bilinear symplectic form, $\omega$. A symplectic form on a vector |
| 285 |
+ |
space $V$ is a function $\omega(x, y)$ which satisfies |
| 286 |
+ |
$\omega(\lambda_1x_1+\lambda_2x_2, y) = \lambda_1\omega(x_1, y)+ |
| 287 |
+ |
\lambda_2\omega(x_2, y)$, $\omega(x, y) = - \omega(y, x)$ and |
| 288 |
+ |
$\omega(x, x) = 0$. Cross product operation in vector field is an |
| 289 |
+ |
example of symplectic form. |
| 290 |
+ |
|
| 291 |
+ |
One of the motivations to study \emph{symplectic manifold} in |
| 292 |
+ |
Hamiltonian Mechanics is that a symplectic manifold can represent |
| 293 |
+ |
all possible configurations of the system and the phase space of the |
| 294 |
+ |
system can be described by it's cotangent bundle. Every symplectic |
| 295 |
+ |
manifold is even dimensional. For instance, in Hamilton equations, |
| 296 |
+ |
coordinate and momentum always appear in pairs. |
| 297 |
+ |
|
| 298 |
+ |
Let $(M,\omega)$ and $(N, \eta)$ be symplectic manifolds. A map |
| 299 |
+ |
\[ |
| 300 |
+ |
f : M \rightarrow N |
| 301 |
+ |
\] |
| 302 |
+ |
is a \emph{symplectomorphism} if it is a \emph{diffeomorphims} and |
| 303 |
+ |
the \emph{pullback} of $\eta$ under f is equal to $\omega$. |
| 304 |
+ |
Canonical transformation is an example of symplectomorphism in |
| 305 |
+ |
classical mechanics. |

\label{introEquation:canonicalMatrix} |
| 325 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 326 |
+ |
where $I$ is an identity matrix. Using this notation, Hamiltonian |
| 327 |
+ |
system can be rewritten as, |
| 328 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 329 |
+ |
\frac{d}{{dt}}x = J\nabla _x H(x) |
| 330 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:compactHamiltonian} |
| 331 |
+ |
\end{equation}In this case, $f$ is |
| 332 |
+ |
called a \emph{Hamiltonian vector field}. |
| 333 |
+ |
|
| 334 |
+ |
Another generalization of Hamiltonian dynamics is Poisson Dynamics, |
| 335 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 336 |
+ |
\dot x = J(x)\nabla _x H \label{introEquation:poissonHamiltonian} |
| 337 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 338 |
+ |
The most obvious change being that matrix $J$ now depends on $x$. |
| 339 |
+ |
The free rigid body is an example of Poisson system (actually a |
| 340 |
+ |
Lie-Poisson system) with Hamiltonian function of angular kinetic |
| 341 |
+ |
energy. |
| 342 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 343 |
+ |
J(\pi ) = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
| 344 |
+ |
0 & {\pi _3 } & { - \pi _2 } \\ |
| 345 |
+ |
{ - \pi _3 } & 0 & {\pi _1 } \\ |
| 346 |
+ |
{\pi _2 } & { - \pi _1 } & 0 \\ |
| 347 |
+ |
\end{array}} \right) |
| 348 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 349 |
+ |
|
| 350 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 351 |
+ |
H = \frac{1}{2}\left( {\frac{{\pi _1^2 }}{{I_1 }} + \frac{{\pi _2^2 |
| 352 |
+ |
}}{{I_2 }} + \frac{{\pi _3^2 }}{{I_3 }}} \right) |
| 353 |
+ |

\subsection{\label{introSection:geometricProperties}Geometric Properties} |
| 356 |
+ |
Let $x(t)$ be the exact solution of the ODE system, |
| 357 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 358 |
+ |
\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = f(x) \label{introEquation:ODE} |
| 359 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 360 |
+ |
The exact flow(solution) $\varphi_\tau$ is defined by |
| 361 |
+ |
\[ |
| 362 |
+ |
x(t+\tau) =\varphi_\tau(x(t)) |
| 363 |
+ |
\] |
| 364 |
+ |
where $\tau$ is a fixed time step and $\varphi$ is a map from phase |
| 365 |
+ |
space to itself. In most cases, it is not easy to find the exact |
| 366 |
+ |
flow $\varphi_\tau$. Instead, we use a approximate map, $\psi_\tau$, |
| 367 |
+ |
which is usually called integrator. The order of an integrator |
| 368 |
+ |
$\psi_\tau$ is $p$, if the Taylor series of $\psi_\tau$ agree to |
| 369 |
+ |
order $p$, |
| 370 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 371 |
+ |
\psi_tau(x) = x + \tau f(x) + O(\tau^{p+1}) |
| 372 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 373 |
+ |
|
| 374 |
+ |
The hidden geometric properties of ODE and its flow play important |
| 375 |
+ |
roles in numerical studies. Let $\varphi$ be the flow of Hamiltonian |
| 376 |
+ |
vector field, $\varphi$ is a \emph{symplectic} flow if it satisfies, |
| 377 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 378 |
+ |
'\varphi^T J '\varphi = J. |
| 379 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 380 |
+ |
According to Liouville's theorem, the symplectic volume is invariant |
| 381 |
+ |
under a Hamiltonian flow, which is the basis for classical |
| 382 |
+ |
statistical mechanics. Furthermore, the flow of a Hamiltonian vector |
| 383 |
+ |
field on a symplectic manifold can be shown to be a |
| 384 |
+ |
symplectomorphism. As to the Poisson system, |
| 385 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 386 |
+ |
'\varphi ^T J '\varphi = J \circ \varphi |
| 387 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 388 |
+ |
is the property must be preserved by the integrator. It is possible |
| 389 |
+ |
to construct a \emph{volume-preserving} flow for a source free($ |
| 390 |
+ |
\nabla \cdot f = 0 $) ODE, if the flow satisfies $ \det d\varphi = |
| 391 |
+ |
1$. Changing the variables $y = h(x)$ in a |
| 392 |
+ |
ODE\ref{introEquation:ODE} will result in a new system, |
| 393 |
+ |
\[ |
| 394 |
+ |
\dot y = \tilde f(y) = ((dh \cdot f)h^{ - 1} )(y). |
| 395 |
+ |
\] |
| 396 |
+ |
The vector filed $f$ has reversing symmetry $h$ if $f = - \tilde f$. |
| 397 |
+ |
In other words, the flow of this vector field is reversible if and |
| 398 |
+ |
only if $ h \circ \varphi ^{ - 1} = \varphi \circ h $. When |
| 399 |
+ |
designing any numerical methods, one should always try to preserve |
| 400 |
+ |
the structural properties of the original ODE and its flow. |
| 401 |
+ |
|
| 402 |
+ |
\subsection{\label{introSection:constructionSymplectic}Construction of Symplectic Methods} |
| 403 |
+ |
A lot of well established and very effective numerical methods have |
| 404 |
+ |
been successful precisely because of their symplecticities even |
| 405 |
+ |
though this fact was not recognized when they were first |
| 406 |
+ |
constructed. The most famous example is leapfrog methods in |
| 407 |
+ |
molecular dynamics. In general, symplectic integrators can be |
| 408 |
+ |
constructed using one of four different methods. |
| 409 |
+ |
\begin{enumerate} |
| 410 |
+ |
\item Generating functions |
| 411 |
+ |
\item Variational methods |
| 412 |
+ |
\item Runge-Kutta methods |
| 413 |
+ |
\item Splitting methods |
| 414 |
+ |
\end{enumerate} |
| 415 |
+ |
|
| 416 |
+ |
Generating function tends to lead to methods which are cumbersome |
| 417 |
+ |
and difficult to use\cite{}. In dissipative systems, variational |
| 418 |
+ |
methods can capture the decay of energy accurately\cite{}. Since |
| 419 |
+ |
their geometrically unstable nature against non-Hamiltonian |
| 420 |
+ |
perturbations, ordinary implicit Runge-Kutta methods are not |
| 421 |
+ |
suitable for Hamiltonian system. Recently, various high-order |
| 422 |
+ |
explicit Runge--Kutta methods have been developed to overcome this |
| 423 |
+ |
instability \cite{}. However, due to computational penalty involved |
| 424 |
+ |
in implementing the Runge-Kutta methods, they do not attract too |
| 425 |
+ |
much attention from Molecular Dynamics community. Instead, splitting |
| 426 |
+ |
have been widely accepted since they exploit natural decompositions |
| 427 |
+ |
of the system\cite{Tuckerman92}. The main idea behind splitting |
| 428 |
+ |
methods is to decompose the discrete $\varphi_h$ as a composition of |
| 429 |
+ |
simpler flows, |
| 430 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 431 |
+ |
\varphi _h = \varphi _{h_1 } \circ \varphi _{h_2 } \ldots \circ |
| 432 |
+ |
\varphi _{h_n } |
| 433 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:FlowDecomposition} |
| 434 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 435 |
+ |
where each of the sub-flow is chosen such that each represent a |
| 436 |
+ |
simpler integration of the system. Let $\phi$ and $\psi$ both be |
| 437 |
+ |
symplectic maps, it is easy to show that any composition of |
| 438 |
+ |
symplectic flows yields a symplectic map, |
| 439 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 440 |
+ |
(\varphi '\phi ')^T J\varphi '\phi ' = \phi '^T \varphi '^T J\varphi |
| 441 |
+ |
'\phi ' = \phi '^T J\phi ' = J. |
| 442 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:SymplecticFlowComposition} |
| 443 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 444 |
+ |
Suppose that a Hamiltonian system has a form with $H = T + V$ |
