229 > Mathematically, phase space is the space which represents all

231 > one unique point in the phase space. For mechanical systems, the
232 > phase space usually consists of all possible values of position and
233 > momentum variables. Consider a dynamic system in a cartesian space,
234 > where each of the $6f$ coordinates and momenta is assigned to one of
235 > $6f$ mutually orthogonal axes, the phase space of this system is a
236 > $6f$ dimensional space. A point, $x = (q_1 , \ldots ,q_f ,p_1 ,
237 > \ldots ,p_f )$, with a unique set of values of $6f$ coordinates and
238 > momenta is a phase space vector.

308 + There are several different types of ensembles with different
309 + statistical characteristics. As a function of macroscopic
310 + parameters, such as temperature \textit{etc}, partition function can
311 + be used to describe the statistical properties of a system in
312 + thermodynamic equilibrium.
313 +
314 + As an ensemble of systems, each of which is known to be thermally
315 + isolated and conserve energy, Microcanonical ensemble(NVE) has a
316 + partition function like,
317 + \begin{equation}
318 + \Omega (N,V,E) = e^{\beta TS} \label{introEquation:NVEPartition}.
319 + \end{equation}
320 + A canonical ensemble(NVT)is an ensemble of systems, each of which
321 + can share its energy with a large heat reservoir. The distribution
322 + of the total energy amongst the possible dynamical states is given
323 + by the partition function,
324 + \begin{equation}
325 + \Omega (N,V,T) = e^{ - \beta A}
326 + \label{introEquation:NVTPartition}
327 + \end{equation}
328 + Here, $A$ is the Helmholtz free energy which is defined as $ A = U -
329 + TS$. Since most experiment are carried out under constant pressure
330 + condition, isothermal-isobaric ensemble(NPT) play a very important
331 + role in molecular simulation. The isothermal-isobaric ensemble allow
332 + the system to exchange energy with a heat bath of temperature $T$
333 + and to change the volume as well. Its partition function is given as
334 + \begin{equation}
335 + \Delta (N,P,T) =  - e^{\beta G}.
336 + \label{introEquation:NPTPartition}
337 + \end{equation}
338 + Here, $G = U - TS + PV$, and $G$ is called Gibbs free energy.
339 +
340 + \subsection{\label{introSection:liouville}Liouville's theorem}
341 +
342 + The Liouville's theorem is the foundation on which statistical
343 + mechanics rests. It describes the time evolution of phase space
344 + distribution function. In order to calculate the rate of change of
345 + $\rho$, we begin from Equation(\ref{introEquation:deltaN}). If we
346 + consider the two faces perpendicular to the $q_1$ axis, which are
347 + located at $q_1$ and $q_1 + \delta q_1$, the number of phase points
348 + leaving the opposite face is given by the expression,
349 + \begin{equation}
350 + \left( {\rho  + \frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial q_1 }}\delta q_1 }
351 + \right)\left( {\dot q_1  + \frac{{\partial \dot q_1 }}{{\partial q_1
352 + }}\delta q_1 } \right)\delta q_2  \ldots \delta q_f \delta p_1
353 + \ldots \delta p_f .
354 + \end{equation}
355 + Summing all over the phase space, we obtain
356 + \begin{equation}
357 + \frac{{d(\delta N)}}{{dt}} =  - \sum\limits_{i = 1}^f {\left[ {\rho
358 + \left( {\frac{{\partial \dot q_i }}{{\partial q_i }} +
359 + \frac{{\partial \dot p_i }}{{\partial p_i }}} \right) + \left(
360 + {\frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial q_i }}\dot q_i  + \frac{{\partial
361 + \rho }}{{\partial p_i }}\dot p_i } \right)} \right]} \delta q_1
362 + \ldots \delta q_f \delta p_1  \ldots \delta p_f .
363 + \end{equation}
364 + Differentiating the equations of motion in Hamiltonian formalism
365 + (\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianCoordinate},
366 + \ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianMomentum}), we can show,
367 + \begin{equation}
368 + \sum\limits_i {\left( {\frac{{\partial \dot q_i }}{{\partial q_i }}
369 + + \frac{{\partial \dot p_i }}{{\partial p_i }}} \right)}  = 0 ,
370 + \end{equation}
371 + which cancels the first terms of the right hand side. Furthermore,
372 + divining $ \delta q_1  \ldots \delta q_f \delta p_1  \ldots \delta
373 + p_f $ in both sides, we can write out Liouville's theorem in a
374 + simple form,
375 + \begin{equation}
376 + \frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial t}} + \sum\limits_{i = 1}^f
377 + {\left( {\frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial q_i }}\dot q_i  +
378 + \frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial p_i }}\dot p_i } \right)}  = 0 .
379 + \label{introEquation:liouvilleTheorem}
380 + \end{equation}
381 +
382 + Liouville's theorem states that the distribution function is
383 + constant along any trajectory in phase space. In classical
384 + statistical mechanics, since the number of particles in the system
385 + is huge, we may be able to believe the system is stationary,
386 + \begin{equation}
387 + \frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial t}} = 0.
388 + \label{introEquation:stationary}
389 + \end{equation}
390 + In such stationary system, the density of distribution $\rho$ can be
391 + connected to the Hamiltonian $H$ through Maxwell-Boltzmann
392 + distribution,
393 + \begin{equation}
394 + \rho  \propto e^{ - \beta H}
395 + \label{introEquation:densityAndHamiltonian}
396 + \end{equation}
397 +
398 + \subsubsection{\label{introSection:phaseSpaceConservation}Conservation of Phase Space}
399 + Lets consider a region in the phase space,
400 + \begin{equation}
401 + \delta v = \int { \ldots \int {dq_1 } ...dq_f dp_1 } ..dp_f .
402 + \end{equation}
403 + If this region is small enough, the density $\rho$ can be regarded
404 + as uniform over the whole phase space. Thus, the number of phase
405 + points inside this region is given by,
406 + \begin{equation}
407 + \delta N = \rho \delta v = \rho \int { \ldots \int {dq_1 } ...dq_f
408 + dp_1 } ..dp_f.
409 + \end{equation}
410 +
411 + \begin{equation}
412 + \frac{{d(\delta N)}}{{dt}} = \frac{{d\rho }}{{dt}}\delta v + \rho
413 + \frac{d}{{dt}}(\delta v) = 0.
414 + \end{equation}
415 + With the help of stationary assumption
416 + (\ref{introEquation:stationary}), we obtain the principle of the
417 + \emph{conservation of extension in phase space},
418 + \begin{equation}
419 + \frac{d}{{dt}}(\delta v) = \frac{d}{{dt}}\int { \ldots \int {dq_1 }
420 + ...dq_f dp_1 } ..dp_f  = 0.
421 + \label{introEquation:volumePreserving}
422 + \end{equation}
423 +
424 + \subsubsection{\label{introSection:liouvilleInOtherForms}Liouville's Theorem in Other Forms}
425 +
426 + Liouville's theorem can be expresses in a variety of different forms
427 + which are convenient within different contexts. For any two function
428 + $F$ and $G$ of the coordinates and momenta of a system, the Poisson
429 + bracket ${F, G}$ is defined as
430 + \begin{equation}
431 + \left\{ {F,G} \right\} = \sum\limits_i {\left( {\frac{{\partial
432 + F}}{{\partial q_i }}\frac{{\partial G}}{{\partial p_i }} -
433 + \frac{{\partial F}}{{\partial p_i }}\frac{{\partial G}}{{\partial
434 + q_i }}} \right)}.
435 + \label{introEquation:poissonBracket}
436 + \end{equation}
437 + Substituting equations of motion in Hamiltonian formalism(
438 + \ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianCoordinate} ,
439 + \ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianMomentum} ) into
440 + (\ref{introEquation:liouvilleTheorem}), we can rewrite Liouville's
441 + theorem using Poisson bracket notion,
442 + \begin{equation}
443 + \left( {\frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial t}}} \right) =  - \left\{
444 + {\rho ,H} \right\}.
445 + \label{introEquation:liouvilleTheromInPoissin}
446 + \end{equation}
447 + Moreover, the Liouville operator is defined as
448 + \begin{equation}
449 + iL = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^f {\left( {\frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial
450 + p_i }}\frac{\partial }{{\partial q_i }} - \frac{{\partial
451 + H}}{{\partial q_i }}\frac{\partial }{{\partial p_i }}} \right)}
452 + \label{introEquation:liouvilleOperator}
453 + \end{equation}
454 + In terms of Liouville operator, Liouville's equation can also be
455 + expressed as
456 + \begin{equation}
457 + \left( {\frac{{\partial \rho }}{{\partial t}}} \right) =  - iL\rho
458 + \label{introEquation:liouvilleTheoremInOperator}

725 > Suppose that a Hamiltonian system takes the form,

727 > H = H_1 + H_2.
728   \]
729 + Here, $H_1$ and $H_2$ may represent different physical processes of
730 + the system. For instance, they may relate to kinetic and potential
731 + energy respectively, which is a natural decomposition of the
732 + problem. If $H_1$ and $H_2$ can be integrated using exact flows
733 + $\varphi_1(t)$ and $\varphi_2(t)$, respectively, a simple first
734 + order is then given by the Lie-Trotter formula
735 + \begin{equation}
736 + \varphi _h  = \varphi _{1,h}  \circ \varphi _{2,h},
737 + \label{introEquation:firstOrderSplitting}
738 + \end{equation}
739 + where $\varphi _h$ is the result of applying the corresponding
740 + continuous $\varphi _i$ over a time $h$. By definition, as
741 + $\varphi_i(t)$ is the exact solution of a Hamiltonian system, it
742 + must follow that each operator $\varphi_i(t)$ is a symplectic map.
743 + It is easy to show that any composition of symplectic flows yields a
744 + symplectic map,
745 + \begin{equation}
746 + (\varphi '\phi ')^T J\varphi '\phi ' = \phi '^T \varphi '^T J\varphi
747 + '\phi ' = \phi '^T J\phi ' = J,
748 + \label{introEquation:SymplecticFlowComposition}
749 + \end{equation}
750 + where $\phi$ and $\psi$ both are symplectic maps. Thus operator
751 + splitting in this context automatically generates a symplectic map.
752  
753 + The Lie-Trotter splitting(\ref{introEquation:firstOrderSplitting})
754 + introduces local errors proportional to $h^2$, while Strang
755 + splitting gives a second-order decomposition,
756 + \begin{equation}

758 + _{1,h/2} , \label{introEquation:secondOrderSplitting}
759 + \end{equation}
760 + which has a local error proportional to $h^3$. Sprang splitting's
761 + popularity in molecular simulation community attribute to its
762 + symmetric property,
763 + \begin{equation}
764 + \varphi _h^{ - 1} = \varphi _{ - h}.
765 + \label{introEquation:timeReversible}
766 + \end{equation}
767 +
768 + \subsubsection{\label{introSection:exampleSplittingMethod}Example of Splitting Method}
769 + The classical equation for a system consisting of interacting
770 + particles can be written in Hamiltonian form,
771   \[
772 < L(\ddot x) = p^2 L(x) - px(0) - \dot x(0)
772 > H = T + V
773   \]
774 + where $T$ is the kinetic energy and $V$ is the potential energy.
775 + Setting $H_1 = T, H_2 = V$ and applying Strang splitting, one
776 + obtains the following:
777 + \begin{align}
778 + q(\Delta t) &= q(0) + \dot{q}(0)\Delta t +
779 +    \frac{F[q(0)]}{m}\frac{\Delta t^2}{2}, %
780 + \label{introEquation:Lp10a} \\%
781 + %
782 + \dot{q}(\Delta t) &= \dot{q}(0) + \frac{\Delta t}{2m}
783 +    \biggl [F[q(0)] + F[q(\Delta t)] \biggr]. %
784 + \label{introEquation:Lp10b}
785 + \end{align}
786 + where $F(t)$ is the force at time $t$. This integration scheme is
787 + known as \emph{velocity verlet} which is
788 + symplectic(\ref{introEquation:SymplecticFlowComposition}),
789 + time-reversible(\ref{introEquation:timeReversible}) and
790 + volume-preserving (\ref{introEquation:volumePreserving}). These
791 + geometric properties attribute to its long-time stability and its
792 + popularity in the community. However, the most commonly used
793 + velocity verlet integration scheme is written as below,
794 + \begin{align}
795 + \dot{q}\biggl (\frac{\Delta t}{2}\biggr ) &=
796 +    \dot{q}(0) + \frac{\Delta t}{2m}\, F[q(0)], \label{introEquation:Lp9a}\\%
797 + %
798 + q(\Delta t) &= q(0) + \Delta t\, \dot{q}\biggl (\frac{\Delta t}{2}\biggr ),%
799 +    \label{introEquation:Lp9b}\\%
800 + %
801 + \dot{q}(\Delta t) &= \dot{q}\biggl (\frac{\Delta t}{2}\biggr ) +
802 +    \frac{\Delta t}{2m}\, F[q(0)]. \label{introEquation:Lp9c}
803 + \end{align}
804 + From the preceding splitting, one can see that the integration of
805 + the equations of motion would follow:
806 + \begin{enumerate}
807 + \item calculate the velocities at the half step, $\frac{\Delta t}{2}$, from the forces calculated at the initial position.
808  
809 + \item Use the half step velocities to move positions one whole step, $\Delta t$.
810 +
811 + \item Evaluate the forces at the new positions, $\mathbf{r}(\Delta t)$, and use the new forces to complete the velocity move.
812 +
813 + \item Repeat from step 1 with the new position, velocities, and forces assuming the roles of the initial values.
814 + \end{enumerate}
815 +
816 + Simply switching the order of splitting and composing, a new
817 + integrator, the \emph{position verlet} integrator, can be generated,
818 + \begin{align}
819 + \dot q(\Delta t) &= \dot q(0) + \Delta tF(q(0))\left[ {q(0) +
820 + \frac{{\Delta t}}{{2m}}\dot q(0)} \right], %
821 + \label{introEquation:positionVerlet1} \\%
822 + %
823 + q(\Delta t) &= q(0) + \frac{{\Delta t}}{2}\left[ {\dot q(0) + \dot
824 + q(\Delta t)} \right]. %
825 + \label{introEquation:positionVerlet2}
826 + \end{align}
827 +
828 + \subsubsection{\label{introSection:errorAnalysis}Error Analysis and Higher Order Methods}
829 +
830 + Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula can be used to determine the local
831 + error of splitting method in terms of commutator of the
832 + operators(\ref{introEquation:exponentialOperator}) associated with
833 + the sub-flow. For operators $hX$ and $hY$ which are associate to
834 + $\varphi_1(t)$ and $\varphi_2(t)$ respectively , we have
835 + \begin{equation}
836 + \exp (hX + hY) = \exp (hZ)
837 + \end{equation}
838 + where
839 + \begin{equation}
840 + hZ = hX + hY + \frac{{h^2 }}{2}[X,Y] + \frac{{h^3 }}{2}\left(
841 + {[X,[X,Y]] + [Y,[Y,X]]} \right) +  \ldots .
842 + \end{equation}
843 + Here, $[X,Y]$ is the commutators of operator $X$ and $Y$ given by
844   \[
845 < L\left( {\int_0^t {g(t - \tau )h(\tau )d\tau } } \right) = G(p)H(p)
845 > [X,Y] = XY - YX .
846   \]
847 + Applying Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula to Sprang splitting, we
848 + can obtain
849 + \begin{eqnarray*}
850 + \exp (h X/2)\exp (h Y)\exp (h X/2) & = & \exp (h X + h Y + h^2 [X,Y]/4 + h^2 [Y,X]/4 \\
851 +                                   &   & \mbox{} + h^2 [X,X]/8 + h^2 [Y,Y]/8 \\
852 +                                   &   & \mbox{} + h^3 [Y,[Y,X]]/12 - h^3[X,[X,Y]]/24 + \ldots )
853 + \end{eqnarray*}
854 + Since \[ [X,Y] + [Y,X] = 0\] and \[ [X,X] = 0\], the dominant local
855 + error of Spring splitting is proportional to $h^3$. The same
856 + procedure can be applied to general splitting,  of the form
857 + \begin{equation}
858 + \varphi _{b_m h}^2  \circ \varphi _{a_m h}^1  \circ \varphi _{b_{m -
859 + 1} h}^2  \circ  \ldots  \circ \varphi _{a_1 h}^1 .
860 + \end{equation}
861 + Careful choice of coefficient $a_1 \ldot b_m$ will lead to higher
862 + order method. Yoshida proposed an elegant way to compose higher
863 + order methods based on symmetric splitting. Given a symmetric second
864 + order base method $ \varphi _h^{(2)} $, a fourth-order symmetric
865 + method can be constructed by composing,
866 + \[
867 + \varphi _h^{(4)}  = \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2)}  \circ \varphi _{\beta
868 + h}^{(2)}  \circ \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2)}
869 + \]
870 + where $ \alpha  =  - \frac{{2^{1/3} }}{{2 - 2^{1/3} }}$ and $ \beta
871 + = \frac{{2^{1/3} }}{{2 - 2^{1/3} }}$. Moreover, a symmetric
872 + integrator $ \varphi _h^{(2n + 2)}$ can be composed by
873 + \begin{equation}
874 + \varphi _h^{(2n + 2)}  = \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2n)}  \circ \varphi
875 + _{\beta h}^{(2n)}  \circ \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2n)}
876 + \end{equation}
877 + , if the weights are chosen as
878 + \[
879 + \alpha  =  - \frac{{2^{1/(2n + 1)} }}{{2 - 2^{1/(2n + 1)} }},\beta =
880 + \frac{{2^{1/(2n + 1)} }}{{2 - 2^{1/(2n + 1)} }} .

1179 + \section{\label{introSection:rigidBody}Dynamics of Rigid Bodies}
1180 +
1181 + Rigid bodies are frequently involved in the modeling of different
1182 + areas, from engineering, physics, to chemistry. For example,
1183 + missiles and vehicle are usually modeled by rigid bodies.  The
1184 + movement of the objects in 3D gaming engine or other physics
1185 + simulator is governed by the rigid body dynamics. In molecular
1186 + simulation, rigid body is used to simplify the model in
1187 + protein-protein docking study{\cite{Gray03}}.
1188 +
1189 + It is very important to develop stable and efficient methods to
1190 + integrate the equations of motion of orientational degrees of
1191 + freedom. Euler angles are the nature choice to describe the
1192 + rotational degrees of freedom. However, due to its singularity, the
1193 + numerical integration of corresponding equations of motion is very
1194 + inefficient and inaccurate. Although an alternative integrator using
1195 + different sets of Euler angles can overcome this difficulty\cite{},
1196 + the computational penalty and the lost of angular momentum
1197 + conservation still remain. A singularity free representation
1198 + utilizing quaternions was developed by Evans in 1977. Unfortunately,
1199 + this approach suffer from the nonseparable Hamiltonian resulted from
1200 + quaternion representation, which prevents the symplectic algorithm
1201 + to be utilized. Another different approach is to apply holonomic
1202 + constraints to the atoms belonging to the rigid body. Each atom
1203 + moves independently under the normal forces deriving from potential
1204 + energy and constraint forces which are used to guarantee the
1205 + rigidness. However, due to their iterative nature, SHAKE and Rattle
1206 + algorithm converge very slowly when the number of constraint
1207 + increases.
1208 +
1209 + The break through in geometric literature suggests that, in order to
1210 + develop a long-term integration scheme, one should preserve the
1211 + symplectic structure of the flow. Introducing conjugate momentum to
1212 + rotation matrix $Q$ and re-formulating Hamiltonian's equation, a
1213 + symplectic integrator, RSHAKE, was proposed to evolve the
1214 + Hamiltonian system in a constraint manifold by iteratively
1215 + satisfying the orthogonality constraint $Q_T Q = 1$. An alternative
1216 + method using quaternion representation was developed by Omelyan.
1217 + However, both of these methods are iterative and inefficient. In
1218 + this section, we will present a symplectic Lie-Poisson integrator
1219 + for rigid body developed by Dullweber and his
1220 + coworkers\cite{Dullweber1997} in depth.
1221 +
1222 + \subsection{\label{introSection:constrainedHamiltonianRB}Constrained Hamiltonian for Rigid Body}
1223 + The motion of the rigid body is Hamiltonian with the Hamiltonian
1224 + function
1225 + \begin{equation}
1226 + H = \frac{1}{2}(p^T m^{ - 1} p) + \frac{1}{2}tr(PJ^{ - 1} P) +
1227 + V(q,Q) + \frac{1}{2}tr[(QQ^T  - 1)\Lambda ].
1228 + \label{introEquation:RBHamiltonian}
1229 + \end{equation}
1230 + Here, $q$ and $Q$  are the position and rotation matrix for the
1231 + rigid-body, $p$ and $P$  are conjugate momenta to $q$  and $Q$ , and
1232 + $J$, a diagonal matrix, is defined by
1233   \[
1234 < L(\sin at) = \frac{a}{{p^2  + a^2 }}
1234 > I_{ii}^{ - 1}  = \frac{1}{2}\sum\limits_{i \ne j} {J_{jj}^{ - 1} }
1235   \]
1236 + where $I_{ii}$ is the diagonal element of the inertia tensor. This
1237 + constrained Hamiltonian equation subjects to a holonomic constraint,
1238 + \begin{equation}
1239 + Q^T Q = 1, \label{introEquation:orthogonalConstraint}
1240 + \end{equation}
1241 + which is used to ensure rotation matrix's orthogonality.
1242 + Differentiating \ref{introEquation:orthogonalConstraint} and using
1243 + Equation \ref{introEquation:RBMotionMomentum}, one may obtain,
1244 + \begin{equation}
1245 + Q^T PJ^{ - 1}  + J^{ - 1} P^T Q = 0 . \\
1246 + \label{introEquation:RBFirstOrderConstraint}
1247 + \end{equation}
1248  
1249 + Using Equation (\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianCoordinate},
1250 + \ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianMomentum}), one can write down
1251 + the equations of motion,
1252   \[
1253 < L(1) = \frac{1}{p}
1253 > \begin{array}{c}
1254 > \frac{{dq}}{{dt}} = \frac{p}{m} \label{introEquation:RBMotionPosition}\\

1270   \]
1271 +
1272 + Unfortunately, this constraint manifold is not the cotangent bundle
1273 + $T_{\star}SO(3)$. However, it turns out that under symplectic
1274 + transformation, the cotangent space and the phase space are
1275 + diffeomorphic. Introducing
1276   \[
1277 < L(x_\alpha  ) = \frac{{\frac{{g_\alpha  }}{{\omega _\alpha  }}L(x) +

1279 < Then, the system coordinates,

1613 + Let $f(t)$ be a function defined on $ [0,\infty ) $. The Laplace
1614 + transform of f(t) is a new function defined as
1615 + \[
1616 + L(f(t)) \equiv F(p) = \int_0^\infty  {f(t)e^{ - pt} dt}
1617 + \]
1618 + where  $p$ is real and  $L$ is called the Laplace Transform
1619 + Operator. Below are some important properties of Laplace transform
1620 + \begin{equation}
1621 + \begin{array}{c}
1622 + L(x + y) = L(x) + L(y) \\
1623 + L(ax) = aL(x) \\
1624 + L(\dot x) = pL(x) - px(0) \\
1625 + L(\ddot x) = p^2 L(x) - px(0) - \dot x(0) \\
1626 + L\left( {\int_0^t {g(t - \tau )h(\tau )d\tau } } \right) = G(p)H(p) \\
1627 + \end{array}
1628 + \end{equation}
1629 +
1630 + Applying Laplace transform to the bath coordinates, we obtain
1631 + \[
1632 + \begin{array}{c}
1633 + p^2 L(x_\alpha  ) - px_\alpha  (0) - \dot x_\alpha  (0) =  - \omega _\alpha ^2 L(x_\alpha  ) + \frac{{g_\alpha  }}{{\omega _\alpha  }}L(x) \\
1634 + L(x_\alpha  ) = \frac{{\frac{{g_\alpha  }}{{\omega _\alpha  }}L(x) + px_\alpha  (0) + \dot x_\alpha  (0)}}{{p^2  + \omega _\alpha ^2 }} \\
1635 + \end{array}
1636 + \]
1637 + By the same way, the system coordinates become
1638 + \[
1639 + \begin{array}{c}
1640 + mL(\ddot x) =  - \frac{1}{p}\frac{{\partial W(x)}}{{\partial x}} \\
1641 +  - \sum\limits_{\alpha  = 1}^N {\left\{ { - \frac{{g_\alpha ^2 }}{{m_\alpha  \omega _\alpha ^2 }}\frac{p}{{p^2  + \omega _\alpha ^2 }}pL(x) - \frac{p}{{p^2  + \omega _\alpha ^2 }}g_\alpha  x_\alpha  (0) - \frac{1}{{p^2  + \omega _\alpha ^2 }}g_\alpha  \dot x_\alpha  (0)} \right\}}  \\
1642 + \end{array}
1643 + \]
1644 +
1645 + With the help of some relatively important inverse Laplace
1646 + transformations:
1647 + \[
1648 + \begin{array}{c}
1649 + L(\cos at) = \frac{p}{{p^2  + a^2 }} \\
1650 + L(\sin at) = \frac{a}{{p^2  + a^2 }} \\
1651 + L(1) = \frac{1}{p} \\
1652 + \end{array}
1653 + \]
1654 + , we obtain
1655   \begin{align}
1656   m\ddot x &=  - \frac{{\partial W(x)}}{{\partial x}} -
1657   \sum\limits_{\alpha  = 1}^N {\left\{ {\left( { - \frac{{g_\alpha ^2
