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 |

\subsubsection{\label{introSection:lagrangian}Lagrangian Mechanics} |
38 |
> |
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, $U$. |

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. |

\subsection{\label{introSection:ODE}Ordinary Differential Equations} |
308 |
+ |
|
309 |
+ |
For a ordinary differential system defined as |
310 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
311 |
+ |
\dot x = f(x) |
312 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
313 |
+ |
where $x = x(q,p)^T$, this system is canonical Hamiltonian, if |
314 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
315 |
+ |
f(r) = J\nabla _x H(r). |
316 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
317 |
+ |
$H = H (q, p)$ is Hamiltonian function and $J$ is the skew-symmetric |
318 |
+ |
matrix |
319 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
320 |
+ |
J = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} |
321 |
+ |
0 & I \\ |
322 |
+ |
{ - I} & 0 \\ |
323 |
+ |
\end{array}} \right) |
324 |
+ |
\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} |

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) |

\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) |

\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 |
+ |
|

+ |
\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 $H = T + V$ |
