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

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}

1055 + \begin{equation}
1056 + Q^T Q = 1$, \label{introEquation:orthogonalConstraint}
1057 + \end{equation}
1058 + which is used to ensure rotation matrix's orthogonality.
1059 + Differentiating \ref{introEquation:orthogonalConstraint} and using

1061 + \begin{equation}
1062 + Q^T PJ^{ - 1}  + J^{ - 1} P^T Q = 0 . \\
1063 + \label{introEquation:RBFirstOrderConstraint}
1064 + \end{equation}
1065  
1066 + Using Equation (\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianCoordinate},
1067 + \ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianMomentum}), one can write down
1068 + the equations of motion,

1075 > \end{array}
1076   \]
1077  
1078 + In general, there are two ways to satisfy the holonomic constraints.
1079 + We can use constraint force provided by lagrange multiplier on the
1080 + normal manifold to keep the motion on constraint space. Or we can
1081 + simply evolve the system in constraint manifold. The two method are
1082 + proved to be equivalent. The holonomic constraint and equations of
1083 + motions define a constraint manifold for rigid body
1084   \[
1085 < L(1) = \frac{1}{p}
1085 > M = \left\{ {(Q,P):Q^T Q = 1,Q^T PJ^{ - 1}  + J^{ - 1} P^T Q = 0}

1087   \]
1088  
1089 < First, the bath coordinates,

1094 > \tilde Q = Q,\tilde P = \frac{1}{2}\left( {P - QP^T Q} \right),
1095   \]
1096 + the mechanical system subject to a holonomic constraint manifold $M$
1097 + can be re-formulated as a Hamiltonian system on the cotangent space
1098   \[
1099 < L(x_\alpha  ) = \frac{{\frac{{g_\alpha  }}{{\omega _\alpha  }}L(x) +
1100 < px_\alpha  (0) + \dot x_\alpha  (0)}}{{p^2  + \omega _\alpha ^2 }}

1101   \]
472 Then, the system coordinates,
473 \begin{align}
474 mL(\ddot x) &=  - \frac{1}{p}\frac{{\partial W(x)}}{{\partial x}} -
475 \sum\limits_{\alpha  = 1}^N {\left\{ {\frac{{\frac{{g_\alpha

482 - \frac{p}{{p^2  + \omega _\alpha ^2 }}g_\alpha  x_\alpha  (0)
483 - \frac{1}{{p^2  + \omega _\alpha ^2 }}g_\alpha  \dot x_\alpha  (0)} \right\}}
484 \end{align}
485 Then, the inverse transform,
1102  
1103 + For a body fixed vector $X_i$ with respect to the center of mass of
1104 + the rigid body, its corresponding lab fixed vector $X_0^{lab}$  is
1105 + given as
1106 + \begin{equation}
1107 + X_i^{lab} = Q X_i + q.
1108 + \end{equation}
1109 + Therefore, potential energy $V(q,Q)$ is defined by
1110 + \[
1111 + V(q,Q) = V(Q X_0 + q).
1112 + \]
1113 + Hence, the force and torque are given by
1114 + \[
1115 + \nabla _q V(q,Q) = F(q,Q) = \sum\limits_i {F_i (q,Q)},
1116 + \]
1117 + and
1118 + \[
1119 + \nabla _Q V(q,Q) = F(q,Q)X_i^t
1120 + \]
1121 + respectively.
1122 +
1123 + As a common choice to describe the rotation dynamics of the rigid
1124 + body, angular momentum on body frame $\Pi  = Q^t P$ is introduced to
1125 + rewrite the equations of motion,
1126 + \begin{equation}
1127 + \begin{array}{l}
1128 + \mathop \Pi \limits^ \bullet   = J^{ - 1} \Pi ^T \Pi  + Q^T \sum\limits_i {F_i (q,Q)X_i^T }  - \Lambda  \\
1129 + \mathop Q\limits^{{\rm{   }} \bullet }  = Q\Pi {\rm{ }}J^{ - 1}  \\
1130 + \end{array}
1131 + \label{introEqaution:RBMotionPI}
1132 + \end{equation}
1133 + , as well as holonomic constraints,
1134 + \[
1135 + \begin{array}{l}
1136 + \Pi J^{ - 1}  + J^{ - 1} \Pi ^t  = 0 \\
1137 + Q^T Q = 1 \\
1138 + \end{array}
1139 + \]
1140 +
1141 + For a vector $v(v_1 ,v_2 ,v_3 ) \in R^3$ and a matrix $\hat v \in
1142 + so(3)^ \star$, the hat-map isomorphism,
1143 + \begin{equation}
1144 + v(v_1 ,v_2 ,v_3 ) \Leftrightarrow \hat v = \left(
1145 + {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
1146 +   0 & { - v_3 } & {v_2 }  \\
1147 +   {v_3 } & 0 & { - v_1 }  \\
1148 +   { - v_2 } & {v_1 } & 0  \\
1149 + \end{array}} \right),
1150 + \label{introEquation:hatmapIsomorphism}
1151 + \end{equation}
1152 + will let us associate the matrix products with traditional vector
1153 + operations
1154 + \[
1155 + \hat vu = v \times u
1156 + \]
1157 +
1158 + Using \ref{introEqaution:RBMotionPI}, one can construct a skew
1159 + matrix,
1160 + \begin{equation}
1161 + (\mathop \Pi \limits^ \bullet   - \mathop \Pi \limits^ \bullet  ^T
1162 + ){\rm{ }} = {\rm{ }}(\Pi  - \Pi ^T ){\rm{ }}(J^{ - 1} \Pi  + \Pi J^{
1163 + - 1} ) + \sum\limits_i {[Q^T F_i (r,Q)X_i^T  - X_i F_i (r,Q)^T Q]} -
1164 + (\Lambda  - \Lambda ^T ) . \label{introEquation:skewMatrixPI}
1165 + \end{equation}
1166 + Since $\Lambda$ is symmetric, the last term of Equation
1167 + \ref{introEquation:skewMatrixPI} is zero, which implies the Lagrange
1168 + multiplier $\Lambda$ is absent from the equations of motion. This
1169 + unique property eliminate the requirement of iterations which can
1170 + not be avoided in other methods\cite{}.
1171 +
1172 + Applying hat-map isomorphism, we obtain the equation of motion for
1173 + angular momentum on body frame
1174 + \begin{equation}
1175 + \dot \pi  = \pi  \times I^{ - 1} \pi  + \sum\limits_i {\left( {Q^T
1176 + F_i (r,Q)} \right) \times X_i }.
1177 + \label{introEquation:bodyAngularMotion}
1178 + \end{equation}
1179 + In the same manner, the equation of motion for rotation matrix is
1180 + given by
1181 + \[
1182 + \dot Q = Qskew(I^{ - 1} \pi )
1183 + \]
1184 +
1185 + \subsection{\label{introSection:SymplecticFreeRB}Symplectic
1186 + Lie-Poisson Integrator for Free Rigid Body}
1187 +
1188 + If there is not external forces exerted on the rigid body, the only
1189 + contribution to the rotational is from the kinetic potential (the
1190 + first term of \ref{ introEquation:bodyAngularMotion}). The free
1191 + rigid body is an example of Lie-Poisson system with Hamiltonian
1192 + function
1193 + \begin{equation}
1194 + T^r (\pi ) = T_1 ^r (\pi _1 ) + T_2^r (\pi _2 ) + T_3^r (\pi _3 )
1195 + \label{introEquation:rotationalKineticRB}
1196 + \end{equation}
1197 + where $T_i^r (\pi _i ) = \frac{{\pi _i ^2 }}{{2I_i }}$ and
1198 + Lie-Poisson structure matrix,
1199 + \begin{equation}
1200 + J(\pi ) = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
1201 +   0 & {\pi _3 } & { - \pi _2 }  \\
1202 +   { - \pi _3 } & 0 & {\pi _1 }  \\
1203 +   {\pi _2 } & { - \pi _1 } & 0  \\
1204 + \end{array}} \right)
1205 + \end{equation}
1206 + Thus, the dynamics of free rigid body is governed by
1207 + \begin{equation}
1208 + \frac{d}{{dt}}\pi  = J(\pi )\nabla _\pi  T^r (\pi )
1209 + \end{equation}
1210 +
1211 + One may notice that each $T_i^r$ in Equation
1212 + \ref{introEquation:rotationalKineticRB} can be solved exactly. For
1213 + instance, the equations of motion due to $T_1^r$ are given by
1214 + \begin{equation}
1215 + \frac{d}{{dt}}\pi  = R_1 \pi ,\frac{d}{{dt}}Q = QR_1
1216 + \label{introEqaution:RBMotionSingleTerm}
1217 + \end{equation}
1218 + where
1219 + \[ R_1  = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
1220 +   0 & 0 & 0  \\
1221 +   0 & 0 & {\pi _1 }  \\
1222 +   0 & { - \pi _1 } & 0  \\
1223 + \end{array}} \right).
1224 + \]
1225 + The solutions of Equation \ref{introEqaution:RBMotionSingleTerm} is
1226 + \[
1227 + \pi (\Delta t) = e^{\Delta tR_1 } \pi (0),Q(\Delta t) =
1228 + Q(0)e^{\Delta tR_1 }
1229 + \]
1230 + with
1231 + \[
1232 + e^{\Delta tR_1 }  = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
1233 +   0 & 0 & 0  \\
1234 +   0 & {\cos \theta _1 } & {\sin \theta _1 }  \\
1235 +   0 & { - \sin \theta _1 } & {\cos \theta _1 }  \\
1236 + \end{array}} \right),\theta _1  = \frac{{\pi _1 }}{{I_1 }}\Delta t.
1237 + \]
1238 + To reduce the cost of computing expensive functions in $e^{\Delta
1239 + tR_1 }$, we can use Cayley transformation,
1240 + \[
1241 + e^{\Delta tR_1 }  \approx (1 - \Delta tR_1 )^{ - 1} (1 + \Delta tR_1
1242 + )
1243 + \]
1244 + The flow maps for $T_2^r$ and $T_3^r$ can be found in the same
1245 + manner.
1246 +
1247 + In order to construct a second-order symplectic method, we split the
1248 + angular kinetic Hamiltonian function can into five terms
1249 + \[
1250 + T^r (\pi ) = \frac{1}{2}T_1 ^r (\pi _1 ) + \frac{1}{2}T_2^r (\pi _2
1251 + ) + T_3^r (\pi _3 ) + \frac{1}{2}T_2^r (\pi _2 ) + \frac{1}{2}T_1 ^r
1252 + (\pi _1 )
1253 + \].
1254 + Concatenating flows corresponding to these five terms, we can obtain
1255 + an symplectic integrator,
1256 + \[
1257 + \varphi _{\Delta t,T^r }  = \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _1 }  \circ
1258 + \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _2 }  \circ \varphi _{\Delta t,\pi _3 }
1259 + \circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _2 }  \circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi
1260 + _1 }.
1261 + \]
1262 +
1263 + The non-canonical Lie-Poisson bracket ${F, G}$ of two function
1264 + $F(\pi )$ and $G(\pi )$ is defined by
1265 + \[
1266 + \{ F,G\} (\pi ) = [\nabla _\pi  F(\pi )]^T J(\pi )\nabla _\pi  G(\pi
1267 + )
1268 + \]
1269 + If the Poisson bracket of a function $F$ with an arbitrary smooth
1270 + function $G$ is zero, $F$ is a \emph{Casimir}, which is the
1271 + conserved quantity in Poisson system. We can easily verify that the
1272 + norm of the angular momentum, $\parallel \pi
1273 + \parallel$, is a \emph{Casimir}. Let$ F(\pi ) = S(\frac{{\parallel
1274 + \pi \parallel ^2 }}{2})$ for an arbitrary function $ S:R \to R$ ,
1275 + then by the chain rule
1276 + \[
1277 + \nabla _\pi  F(\pi ) = S'(\frac{{\parallel \pi \parallel ^2
1278 + }}{2})\pi
1279 + \]
1280 + Thus $ [\nabla _\pi  F(\pi )]^T J(\pi ) =  - S'(\frac{{\parallel \pi
1281 + \parallel ^2 }}{2})\pi  \times \pi  = 0 $. This explicit
1282 + Lie-Poisson integrator is found to be extremely efficient and stable
1283 + which can be explained by the fact the small angle approximation is
1284 + used and the norm of the angular momentum is conserved.
1285 +
1286 + \subsection{\label{introSection:RBHamiltonianSplitting} Hamiltonian
1287 + Splitting for Rigid Body}
1288 +
1289 + The Hamiltonian of rigid body can be separated in terms of kinetic
1290 + energy and potential energy,
1291 + \[
1292 + H = T(p,\pi ) + V(q,Q)
1293 + \]
1294 + The equations of motion corresponding to potential energy and
1295 + kinetic energy are listed in the below table,
1296 + \begin{center}
1297 + \begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
1298 +  \hline
1299 +  % after \\: \hline or \cline{col1-col2} \cline{col3-col4} ...
1300 +  Potential & Kinetic \\
1301 +  $\frac{{dq}}{{dt}} = \frac{p}{m}$ & $\frac{d}{{dt}}q = p$ \\
1302 +  $\frac{d}{{dt}}p =  - \frac{{\partial V}}{{\partial q}}$ & $ \frac{d}{{dt}}p = 0$ \\
1303 +  $\frac{d}{{dt}}Q = 0$ & $ \frac{d}{{dt}}Q = Qskew(I^{ - 1} j)$ \\
1304 +  $ \frac{d}{{dt}}\pi  = \sum\limits_i {\left( {Q^T F_i (r,Q)} \right) \times X_i }$ & $\frac{d}{{dt}}\pi  = \pi  \times I^{ - 1} \pi$\\
1305 +  \hline
1306 + \end{tabular}
1307 + \end{center}
1308 + A second-order symplectic method is now obtained by the composition
1309 + of the flow maps,
1310 + \[
1311 + \varphi _{\Delta t}  = \varphi _{\Delta t/2,V}  \circ \varphi
1312 + _{\Delta t,T}  \circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,V}.
1313 + \]
1314 + Moreover, $\varphi _{\Delta t/2,V}$ can be divided into two
1315 + sub-flows which corresponding to force and torque respectively,
1316 + \[
1317 + \varphi _{\Delta t/2,V}  = \varphi _{\Delta t/2,F}  \circ \varphi
1318 + _{\Delta t/2,\tau }.
1319 + \]
1320 + Since the associated operators of $\varphi _{\Delta t/2,F} $ and
1321 + $\circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\tau }$ are commuted, the composition
1322 + order inside $\varphi _{\Delta t/2,V}$ does not matter.
1323 +
1324 + Furthermore, kinetic potential can be separated to translational
1325 + kinetic term, $T^t (p)$, and rotational kinetic term, $T^r (\pi )$,
1326 + \begin{equation}
1327 + T(p,\pi ) =T^t (p) + T^r (\pi ).
1328 + \end{equation}
1329 + where $ T^t (p) = \frac{1}{2}p^T m^{ - 1} p $ and $T^r (\pi )$ is
1330 + defined by \ref{introEquation:rotationalKineticRB}. Therefore, the
1331 + corresponding flow maps are given by
1332 + \[
1333 + \varphi _{\Delta t,T}  = \varphi _{\Delta t,T^t }  \circ \varphi
1334 + _{\Delta t,T^r }.
1335 + \]
1336 + Finally, we obtain the overall symplectic flow maps for free moving
1337 + rigid body
1338 + \begin{equation}
1339 + \begin{array}{c}

1358 +
1359 + Harmonic bath model, in which an effective set of harmonic
1360 + oscillators are used to mimic the effect of a linearly responding
1361 + environment, has been widely used in quantum chemistry and
1362 + statistical mechanics. One of the successful applications of
1363 + Harmonic bath model is the derivation of Deriving Generalized
1364 + Langevin Dynamics. Lets consider a system, in which the degree of
1365 + freedom $x$ is assumed to couple to the bath linearly, giving a
1366 + Hamiltonian of the form
1367 + \begin{equation}
1368 + H = \frac{{p^2 }}{{2m}} + U(x) + H_B  + \Delta U(x,x_1 , \ldots x_N)
1369 + \label{introEquation:bathGLE}.
1370 + \end{equation}
1371 + Here $p$ is a momentum conjugate to $q$, $m$ is the mass associated
1372 + with this degree of freedom, $H_B$ is harmonic bath Hamiltonian,
1373 + \[
1374 + H_B  = \sum\limits_{\alpha  = 1}^N {\left\{ {\frac{{p_\alpha ^2
1375 + }}{{2m_\alpha  }} + \frac{1}{2}m_\alpha  \omega _\alpha ^2 }
1376 + \right\}}
1377 + \]
1378 + where the index $\alpha$ runs over all the bath degrees of freedom,
1379 + $\omega _\alpha$ are the harmonic bath frequencies, $m_\alpha$ are
1380 + the harmonic bath masses, and $\Delta U$ is bilinear system-bath
1381 + coupling,
1382 + \[
1383 + \Delta U =  - \sum\limits_{\alpha  = 1}^N {g_\alpha  x_\alpha  x}
1384 + \]
1385 + where $g_\alpha$ are the coupling constants between the bath and the
1386 + coordinate $x$. Introducing
1387 + \[
1388 + W(x) = U(x) - \sum\limits_{\alpha  = 1}^N {\frac{{g_\alpha ^2
1389 + }}{{2m_\alpha  w_\alpha ^2 }}} x^2
1390 + \] and combining the last two terms in Equation
1391 + \ref{introEquation:bathGLE}, we may rewrite the Harmonic bath
1392 + Hamiltonian as
1393 + \[
1394 + H = \frac{{p^2 }}{{2m}} + W(x) + \sum\limits_{\alpha  = 1}^N
1395 + {\left\{ {\frac{{p_\alpha ^2 }}{{2m_\alpha  }} + \frac{1}{2}m_\alpha
1396 + w_\alpha ^2 \left( {x_\alpha   - \frac{{g_\alpha  }}{{m_\alpha
1397 + w_\alpha ^2 }}x} \right)^2 } \right\}}
1398 + \]
1399 + Since the first two terms of the new Hamiltonian depend only on the
1400 + system coordinates, we can get the equations of motion for
1401 + Generalized Langevin Dynamics by Hamilton's equations
1402 + \ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianCoordinate,
1403 + introEquation:motionHamiltonianMomentum},
1404 + \begin{equation}
1405 + m\ddot x =  - \frac{{\partial W(x)}}{{\partial x}} -
1406 + \sum\limits_{\alpha  = 1}^N {g_\alpha  \left( {x_\alpha   -
1407 + \frac{{g_\alpha  }}{{m_\alpha  w_\alpha ^2 }}x} \right)},
1408 + \label{introEquation:coorMotionGLE}
1409 + \end{equation}
1410 + and
1411 + \begin{equation}
1412 + m\ddot x_\alpha   =  - m_\alpha  w_\alpha ^2 \left( {x_\alpha   -
1413 + \frac{{g_\alpha  }}{{m_\alpha  w_\alpha ^2 }}x} \right).
1414 + \label{introEquation:bathMotionGLE}
1415 + \end{equation}
1416 +
1417 + In order to derive an equation for $x$, the dynamics of the bath
1418 + variables $x_\alpha$ must be solved exactly first. As an integral
1419 + transform which is particularly useful in solving linear ordinary
1420 + differential equations, Laplace transform is the appropriate tool to
1421 + solve this problem. The basic idea is to transform the difficult
1422 + differential equations into simple algebra problems which can be
1423 + solved easily. Then applying inverse Laplace transform, also known
1424 + as the Bromwich integral, we can retrieve the solutions of the
1425 + original problems.
1426 +
1427 + Let $f(t)$ be a function defined on $ [0,\infty ) $. The Laplace
1428 + transform of f(t) is a new function defined as
1429 + \[
1430 + L(f(t)) \equiv F(p) = \int_0^\infty  {f(t)e^{ - pt} dt}
1431 + \]
1432 + where  $p$ is real and  $L$ is called the Laplace Transform
1433 + Operator. Below are some important properties of Laplace transform
1434 + \begin{equation}
1435 + \begin{array}{c}
1436 + L(x + y) = L(x) + L(y) \\
1437 + L(ax) = aL(x) \\
1438 + L(\dot x) = pL(x) - px(0) \\
1439 + L(\ddot x) = p^2 L(x) - px(0) - \dot x(0) \\
1440 + L\left( {\int_0^t {g(t - \tau )h(\tau )d\tau } } \right) = G(p)H(p) \\
1441 + \end{array}
1442 + \end{equation}
1443 +
1444 + Applying Laplace transform to the bath coordinates, we obtain
1445 + \[
1446 + \begin{array}{c}
1447 + p^2 L(x_\alpha  ) - px_\alpha  (0) - \dot x_\alpha  (0) =  - \omega _\alpha ^2 L(x_\alpha  ) + \frac{{g_\alpha  }}{{\omega _\alpha  }}L(x) \\
1448 + L(x_\alpha  ) = \frac{{\frac{{g_\alpha  }}{{\omega _\alpha  }}L(x) + px_\alpha  (0) + \dot x_\alpha  (0)}}{{p^2  + \omega _\alpha ^2 }} \\
1449 + \end{array}
1450 + \]
1451 + By the same way, the system coordinates become
1452 + \[
1453 + \begin{array}{c}
1454 + mL(\ddot x) =  - \frac{1}{p}\frac{{\partial W(x)}}{{\partial x}} \\
1455 +  - \sum\limits_{\alpha  = 1}^N {\left\{ { - \frac{{g_\alpha ^2 }}{{m_\alpha  \omega _\alpha ^2 }}\frac{p}{{p^2  + \omega _\alpha ^2 }}pL(x) - \frac{p}{{p^2  + \omega _\alpha ^2 }}g_\alpha  x_\alpha  (0) - \frac{1}{{p^2  + \omega _\alpha ^2 }}g_\alpha  \dot x_\alpha  (0)} \right\}}  \\
1456 + \end{array}
1457 + \]
1458 +
1459 + With the help of some relatively important inverse Laplace
1460 + transformations:
1461 + \[
1462 + \begin{array}{c}
1463 + L(\cos at) = \frac{p}{{p^2  + a^2 }} \\
1464 + L(\sin at) = \frac{a}{{p^2  + a^2 }} \\
1465 + L(1) = \frac{1}{p} \\
1466 + \end{array}
1467 + \]
1468 + , we obtain
1469   \begin{align}
1470   m\ddot x &=  - \frac{{\partial W(x)}}{{\partial x}} -
1471   \sum\limits_{\alpha  = 1}^N {\left\{ {\left( { - \frac{{g_\alpha ^2

1730 + \ref{introEquation:tensorExpression}
1731 + \begin{equation}
1732 + T_{ij}  = \frac{1}{{8\pi \eta r_{ij} }}\left( {I + \frac{{R_{ij}
1733 + R_{ij}^T }}{{R_{ij}^2 }}} \right).
1734 + \label{introEquation:oseenTensor}
1735 + \end{equation}
1736 + Here $R_{ij}$ is the distance vector between bead $i$ and bead $j$.
1737 + A second order expression for element of different size was
1738 + introduced by Rotne and Prager\cite{} and improved by Garc\'{i}a de
1739 + la Torre and Bloomfield,
1740 + \begin{equation}
1741 + T_{ij}  = \frac{1}{{8\pi \eta R_{ij} }}\left[ {\left( {I +
1742 + \frac{{R_{ij} R_{ij}^T }}{{R_{ij}^2 }}} \right) + R\frac{{\sigma
1743 + _i^2  + \sigma _j^2 }}{{r_{ij}^2 }}\left( {\frac{I}{3} -

1747 + Both of the Equation \ref{introEquation:oseenTensor} and Equation
1748 + \ref{introEquation:RPTensorNonOverlapped} have an assumption $R_{ij}
1749 + \ge \sigma _i  + \sigma _j$. An alternative expression for

1751 + \begin{equation}
