The discovery of Newton's three laws of mechanics which govern the |

Newton's first law defines a class of inertial frames. Inertial |

Conservation laws of Newtonian Mechanics play very important roles |

in solving mechanics problems. The linear momentum of a particle is |

Arising from Lagrangian Mechanics, Hamiltonian Mechanics was |

introduced by William Rowan Hamilton in 1833 as a re-formulation of |

classical mechanics. If the potential energy of a system is |

Hamiltonian approach is that the Lagrangian is considered to be a |

A microscopic state or microstate of a classical system is |
| 241 |
< |
specification of the complete phase space vector of a system at any |
| 242 |
< |
instant in time. An ensemble is defined as a collection of systems |
| 243 |
< |
sharing one or more macroscopic characteristics but each being in a |
| 244 |
< |
unique microstate. The complete ensemble is specified by giving all |
| 245 |
< |
systems or microstates consistent with the common macroscopic |
| 246 |
< |
characteristics of the ensemble. Although the state of each |
| 247 |
< |
individual system in the ensemble could be precisely described at |
| 248 |
< |
any instance in time by a suitable phase space vector, when using |
| 249 |
< |
ensembles for statistical purposes, there is no need to maintain |
| 250 |
< |
distinctions between individual systems, since the numbers of |
| 251 |
< |
systems at any time in the different states which correspond to |
| 252 |
< |
different regions of the phase space are more interesting. Moreover, |
| 253 |
< |
in the point of view of statistical mechanics, one would prefer to |
| 254 |
< |
use ensembles containing a large enough population of separate |
| 255 |
< |
members so that the numbers of systems in such different states can |
| 256 |
< |
be regarded as changing continuously as we traverse different |
| 257 |
< |
regions of the phase space. The condition of an ensemble at any time |
| 234 |
> |
In statistical mechanics, the condition of an ensemble at any time |
| 235 |
|
can be regarded as appropriately specified by the density $\rho$ |
| 236 |
|
with which representative points are distributed over the phase |
| 237 |
< |
space. The density of distribution for an ensemble with $f$ degrees |
| 238 |
< |
of freedom is defined as, |
| 237 |

space. The density distribution for an ensemble with $f$ degrees of |
| 238 |
> |
freedom is defined as, |
| 239 |
|
\begin{equation} |
| 240 |
|
\rho = \rho (q_1 , \ldots ,q_f ,p_1 , \ldots ,p_f ,t). |
| 241 |
|
\label{introEquation:densityDistribution} |
| 242 |
|
\end{equation} |
| 243 |
|
Governed by the principles of mechanics, the phase points change |
| 244 |
< |
their value which would change the density at any time at phase |
| 245 |
< |
space. Hence, the density of distribution is also to be taken as a |
| 246 |
< |
function of the time. |
| 247 |
< |
|
| 271 |
< |
The number of systems $\delta N$ at time $t$ can be determined by, |
| 244 |
> |
their locations which would change the density at any time at phase |
| 245 |

space. Hence, the density distribution is also to be taken as a |
| 246 |

function of the time. The number of systems $\delta N$ at time $t$ |
| 247 |

can be determined by, |
| 248 |
|
\begin{equation} |

\delta N = \rho (q,p,t)dq_1 \ldots dq_f dp_1 \ldots dp_f. |

sufficiently approximate $\delta N$ without introducing |

discontinuity when we go from one region in the phase space to |

another. By integrating over the whole phase space, |

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

of biological systems, providing structural, thermodynamic and |

macroscopic properties are related to microscopic behavior and |

microscopic behavior can be calculated from the trajectories in |

A typical molecular dynamics run consists of three essential steps: |

\begin{enumerate} |
| 847 |

\item Initialization |
| 848 |

\begin{enumerate} |
| 849 |

\subsubsection{\textbf{Preliminary preparation}} |
| 867 |
> |
|
| 868 |
> |
When selecting the starting structure of a molecule for molecular |
| 869 |
> |
simulation, one may retrieve its Cartesian coordinates from public |
| 870 |
> |
databases, such as RCSB Protein Data Bank \textit{etc}. Although |
| 871 |
> |
thousands of crystal structures of molecules are discovered every |
| 872 |
> |
year, many more remain unknown due to the difficulties of |
| 873 |
> |
purification and crystallization. Even for molecules with known |
| 874 |
> |
structure, some important information is missing. For example, a |
| 875 |
> |
missing hydrogen atom which acts as donor in hydrogen bonding must |
| 876 |
> |
be added. Moreover, in order to include electrostatic interaction, |
| 877 |
> |
one may need to specify the partial charges for individual atoms. |
| 878 |
> |
Under some circumstances, we may even need to prepare the system in |
| 879 |
> |
a special configuration. For instance, when studying transport |
| 880 |
> |
phenomenon in membrane systems, we may prepare the lipids in a |
| 881 |
> |
bilayer structure instead of placing lipids randomly in solvent, |
| 882 |
> |
since we are not interested in the slow self-aggregation process. |
| 883 |
> |
|
| 884 |
> |
\subsubsection{\textbf{Minimization}} |
| 885 |
> |
|
| 886 |
> |
It is quite possible that some of molecules in the system from |
| 887 |
> |
preliminary preparation may be overlapping with each other. This |
| 888 |
> |
close proximity leads to high initial potential energy which |
| 889 |
> |
consequently jeopardizes any molecular dynamics simulations. To |
| 890 |
> |
remove these steric overlaps, one typically performs energy |
| 891 |
> |
minimization to find a more reasonable conformation. Several energy |
| 892 |
> |
minimization methods have been developed to exploit the energy |
| 893 |
> |
surface and to locate the local minimum. While converging slowly |
| 894 |
> |
near the minimum, steepest descent method is extremely robust when |
| 895 |
> |
systems are strongly anharmonic. Thus, it is often used to refine |
| 896 |
> |
structure from crystallographic data. Relied on the gradient or |
| 897 |
> |
hessian, advanced methods like Newton-Raphson converge rapidly to a |
| 898 |
> |
local minimum, but become unstable if the energy surface is far from |
| 899 |
> |
quadratic. Another factor that must be taken into account, when |
| 900 |
> |
choosing energy minimization method, is the size of the system. |
| 901 |
> |
Steepest descent and conjugate gradient can deal with models of any |
| 902 |
> |
size. Because of the limits on computer memory to store the hessian |
| 903 |
> |
matrix and the computing power needed to diagonalized these |
| 904 |
> |
matrices, most Newton-Raphson methods can not be used with very |
| 905 |
> |
large systems. |
| 906 |
> |
|
| 907 |
> |
\subsubsection{\textbf{Heating}} |
| 908 |
> |
|
| 909 |
> |
Typically, Heating is performed by assigning random velocities |
| 910 |
> |
according to a Maxwell-Boltzman distribution for a desired |
| 911 |
> |
temperature. Beginning at a lower temperature and gradually |
| 912 |
> |
increasing the temperature by assigning larger random velocities, we |
| 913 |
> |
end up with setting the temperature of the system to a final |
| 914 |
> |
temperature at which the simulation will be conducted. In heating |
| 915 |
> |
phase, we should also keep the system from drifting or rotating as a |
| 916 |
> |
whole. To do this, the net linear momentum and angular momentum of |
| 917 |
> |
the system is shifted to zero after each resampling from the Maxwell |
| 918 |
> |
-Boltzman distribution. |
| 919 |
> |
|
| 920 |
> |
\subsubsection{\textbf{Equilibration}} |
| 921 |
> |
|
| 922 |
> |
The purpose of equilibration is to allow the system to evolve |
| 923 |
> |
spontaneously for a period of time and reach equilibrium. The |
| 924 |
> |
procedure is continued until various statistical properties, such as |
| 925 |
> |
temperature, pressure, energy, volume and other structural |
| 926 |
> |
properties \textit{etc}, become independent of time. Strictly |
| 927 |
> |
speaking, minimization and heating are not necessary, provided the |
| 928 |
> |
equilibration process is long enough. However, these steps can serve |
| 929 |
> |
as a means to arrive at an equilibrated structure in an effective |
| 930 |
> |
way. |
| 931 |
> |
|
| 932 |
> |
\subsection{\label{introSection:production}Production} |
| 933 |
> |
|
| 934 |
> |
The production run is the most important step of the simulation, in |
| 935 |
> |
which the equilibrated structure is used as a starting point and the |
| 936 |
> |
motions of the molecules are collected for later analysis. In order |
| 937 |
> |
to capture the macroscopic properties of the system, the molecular |
| 938 |
> |
dynamics simulation must be performed by sampling correctly and |
| 939 |
> |
efficiently from the relevant thermodynamic ensemble. |
| 940 |
> |
|
| 941 |
> |
The most expensive part of a molecular dynamics simulation is the |
| 942 |
> |
calculation of non-bonded forces, such as van der Waals force and |
| 943 |
> |
Coulombic forces \textit{etc}. For a system of $N$ particles, the |
| 944 |
> |
complexity of the algorithm for pair-wise interactions is $O(N^2 )$, |
| 945 |
> |
which making large simulations prohibitive in the absence of any |
| 946 |
> |
algorithmic tricks. A natural approach to avoid system size issues |
| 947 |
> |
is to represent the bulk behavior by a finite number of the |
| 948 |
> |
particles. However, this approach will suffer from the surface |
| 949 |
> |
effect at the edges of the simulation. To offset this, |
| 950 |
> |
\textit{Periodic boundary conditions} (see Fig.~\ref{introFig:pbc}) |
| 951 |
> |
is developed to simulate bulk properties with a relatively small |
| 952 |
> |
number of particles. In this method, the simulation box is |
| 953 |
> |
replicated throughout space to form an infinite lattice. During the |
| 954 |
> |
simulation, when a particle moves in the primary cell, its image in |
| 955 |
> |
other cells move in exactly the same direction with exactly the same |
| 956 |
> |
orientation. Thus, as a particle leaves the primary cell, one of its |
| 957 |
> |
images will enter through the opposite face. |

Another important technique to improve the efficiency of force |
| 969 |
> |
evaluation is to apply spherical cutoff where particles farther than |
| 970 |
> |
a predetermined distance are not included in the calculation |
| 971 |
> |
\cite{Frenkel1996}. The use of a cutoff radius will cause a |
| 972 |
> |
discontinuity in the potential energy curve. Fortunately, one can |
| 973 |
> |
shift simple radial potential to ensure the potential curve go |
| 974 |
> |
smoothly to zero at the cutoff radius. The cutoff strategy works |
| 975 |
> |
well for Lennard-Jones interaction because of its short range |
| 976 |
> |
nature. However, simply truncating the electrostatic interaction |
| 977 |
> |
with the use of cutoffs has been shown to lead to severe artifacts |
| 978 |
> |
in simulations. The Ewald summation, in which the slowly decaying |
| 979 |
> |
Coulomb potential is transformed into direct and reciprocal sums |
| 980 |
> |
with rapid and absolute convergence, has proved to minimize the |
| 981 |
> |
periodicity artifacts in liquid simulations. Taking the advantages |
| 982 |
> |
of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) for calculating discrete Fourier |
| 983 |
> |
transforms, the particle mesh-based |
| 984 |
> |
methods\cite{Hockney1981,Shimada1993, Luty1994} are accelerated from |
| 985 |
> |
$O(N^{3/2})$ to $O(N logN)$. An alternative approach is the |
| 986 |
> |
\emph{fast multipole method}\cite{Greengard1987, Greengard1994}, |
| 987 |
> |
which treats Coulombic interactions exactly at short range, and |
| 988 |
> |
approximate the potential at long range through multipolar |
| 989 |
> |
expansion. In spite of their wide acceptance at the molecular |
| 990 |
> |
simulation community, these two methods are difficult to implement |
| 991 |
> |
correctly and efficiently. Instead, we use a damped and |
| 992 |
> |
charge-neutralized Coulomb potential method developed by Wolf and |
| 993 |
> |
his coworkers\cite{Wolf1999}. The shifted Coulomb potential for |
| 994 |
> |
particle $i$ and particle $j$ at distance $r_{rj}$ is given by: |
| 995 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 996 |
> |
V(r_{ij})= \frac{q_i q_j \textrm{erfc}(\alpha |
| 997 |

r_{ij})}{r_{ij}}-\lim_{r_{ij}\rightarrow |

r_{ij})}{r_{ij}}\right\}. \label{introEquation:shiftedCoulomb} |
| 1000 |

\end{equation} |
| 1001 |

where $\alpha$ is the convergence parameter. Due to the lack of |
| 1002 |

inherent periodicity and rapid convergence,this method is extremely |

efficient and easy to implement. |

Recently, advanced visualization technique have become applied to |

monitor the motions of molecules. Although the dynamics of the |

Statistical Mechanics in |

Sec.~\ref{introSection:statisticalMechanics}, one can compute |

\subsubsection{\label{introSection:thermodynamicsProperties}\textbf{Thermodynamic Properties}} |
| 1027 |

|
| 1028 |
> |
Thermodynamic properties, which can be expressed in terms of some |
| 1029 |
> |
function of the coordinates and momenta of all particles in the |
| 1030 |
> |
system, can be directly computed from molecular dynamics. The usual |
| 1031 |
> |
way to measure the pressure is based on virial theorem of Clausius |
| 1032 |
> |
which states that the virial is equal to $-3Nk_BT$. For a system |
| 1033 |
> |
with forces between particles, the total virial, $W$, contains the |
| 1034 |
> |
contribution from external pressure and interaction between the |
| 1035 |
> |
particles: |
| 1036 |
> |
\[ |
| 1037 |
> |
W = - 3PV + \left\langle {\sum\limits_{i < j} {r{}_{ij} \cdot |
| 1038 |
> |
f_{ij} } } \right\rangle |
| 1039 |
> |
\] |
| 1040 |
> |
where $f_{ij}$ is the force between particle $i$ and $j$ at a |
| 1041 |
> |
distance $r_{ij}$. Thus, the expression for the pressure is given |
| 1042 |
> |
by: |
| 1043 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 1044 |
> |
P = \frac{{Nk_B T}}{V} - \frac{1}{{3V}}\left\langle {\sum\limits_{i |

\subsubsection{\label{introSection:structuralProperties}\textbf{Structural Properties}} |
| 1049 |
> |
|
| 1050 |
> |
Structural Properties of a simple fluid can be described by a set of |
| 1051 |
> |
distribution functions. Among these functions,the \emph{pair |
| 1052 |
> |
distribution function}, also known as \emph{radial distribution |
| 1053 |
> |
function}, is of most fundamental importance to liquid theory. |
| 1054 |
> |
Experimentally, pair distribution function can be gathered by |
| 1055 |
> |
Fourier transforming raw data from a series of neutron diffraction |
| 1056 |
> |
experiments and integrating over the surface factor |
| 1057 |
> |
\cite{Powles1973}. The experimental results can serve as a criterion |
| 1058 |
> |
to justify the correctness of a liquid model. Moreover, various |
| 1059 |
> |
equilibrium thermodynamic and structural properties can also be |
| 1060 |
> |
expressed in terms of radial distribution function \cite{Allen1987}. |
| 1061 |
> |
The pair distribution functions $g(r)$ gives the probability that a |
| 1062 |
> |
particle $i$ will be located at a distance $r$ from a another |
| 1063 |
> |
particle $j$ in the system |
| 1064 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 1065 |
> |
g(r) = \frac{V}{{N^2 }}\left\langle {\sum\limits_i {\sum\limits_{j |
| 1066 |
> |
\ne i} {\delta (r - r_{ij} )} } } \right\rangle = \frac{\rho |
| 1067 |
> |
(r)}{\rho}. |
| 1068 |
> |
\end{equation} |
| 1069 |
> |
Note that the delta function can be replaced by a histogram in |
| 1070 |
> |
computer simulation. Peaks in $g(r)$ represent solvent shells, and |
| 1071 |
> |
the height of these peaks gradually decreases to 1 as the liquid of |
| 1072 |

large distance approaches the bulk density. |

\subsubsection{\label{introSection:timeDependentProperties}\textbf{Time-dependent |
| 1076 |
+ |
Properties}} |
| 1077 |
+ |
|
| 1078 |
+ |
Time-dependent properties are usually calculated using \emph{time |
| 1079 |
+ |
correlation functions}, which correlate random variables $A$ and $B$ |
| 1080 |
+ |
at two different times, |
| 1081 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1082 |
+ |
C_{AB} (t) = \left\langle {A(t)B(0)} \right\rangle. |
| 1083 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:timeCorrelationFunction} |
| 1084 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 1085 |
+ |
If $A$ and $B$ refer to same variable, this kind of correlation |
| 1086 |
+ |
function is called an \emph{autocorrelation function}. One example |
| 1087 |
+ |
of an auto correlation function is the velocity auto-correlation |
| 1088 |
+ |
function which is directly related to transport properties of |
| 1089 |
+ |
molecular liquids: |
| 1090 |
+ |
\[ |
| 1091 |
+ |
D = \frac{1}{3}\int\limits_0^\infty {\left\langle {v(t) \cdot v(0)} |
| 1092 |
+ |
\right\rangle } dt |
| 1093 |
+ |
\] |
| 1094 |
+ |
where $D$ is diffusion constant. Unlike the velocity autocorrelation |
| 1095 |
+ |
function, which is averaging over time origins and over all the |
| 1096 |
+ |
atoms, the dipole autocorrelation functions are calculated for the |
| 1097 |
+ |
entire system. The dipole autocorrelation function is given by: |
| 1098 |
+ |
\[ |
| 1099 |
+ |
c_{dipole} = \left\langle {u_{tot} (t) \cdot u_{tot} (t)} |
| 1100 |
+ |
\right\rangle |
| 1101 |
+ |
\] |
| 1102 |
+ |
Here $u_{tot}$ is the net dipole of the entire system and is given |
| 1103 |
+ |
by |
| 1104 |
+ |
\[ |
| 1105 |
+ |
u_{tot} (t) = \sum\limits_i {u_i (t)}. |
| 1106 |
+ |
\] |
| 1107 |
+ |
In principle, many time correlation functions can be related with |
| 1108 |
+ |
Fourier transforms of the infrared, Raman, and inelastic neutron |

Rigid bodies are frequently involved in the modeling of different |
| 1120 |
|
areas, from engineering, physics, to chemistry. For example, |
| 1121 |
|
missiles and vehicle are usually modeled by rigid bodies. The |
| 1122 |
|
movement of the objects in 3D gaming engine or other physics |
| 1123 |

simulator is governed by the rigid body dynamics. In molecular |
| 1124 |

simulation, rigid body is used to simplify the model in |

It is very important to develop stable and efficient methods to |

integrate the equations of motion of orientational degrees of |

freedom. Euler angles are the nature choice to describe the |

rotational degrees of freedom. However, due to its singularity, the |
| 1131 |

numerical integration of corresponding equations of motion is very |

inefficient and inaccurate. Although an alternative integrator using |
| 1133 |

different sets of Euler angles can overcome this difficulty\cite{}, |
| 1134 |

the computational penalty and the lost of angular momentum |
| 1135 |

A break-through in geometric literature suggests that, in order to |

develop a long-term integration scheme, one should preserve the |

symplectic structure of the flow. Introducing conjugate momentum to |
| 1151 |

rotation matrix $A$ and re-formulating Hamiltonian's equation, a |

symplectic integrator, RSHAKE, was proposed to evolve the |

Hamiltonian system in a constraint manifold by iteratively |

which is used to ensure rotation matrix's orthogonality. |
| 1182 |
< |
Differentiating \ref{introEquation:orthogonalConstraint} and using |

Equation \ref{introEquation:RBMotionMomentum}, one may obtain, |

which is used to ensure rotation matrix's unitarity. Differentiating |

| 1188 |

Using Equation (\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianCoordinate}, |
| 1189 |
|
\ref{introEquation:motionHamiltonianMomentum}), one can write down |
| 1190 |
|
the equations of motion, |

\begin{eqnarray} |
| 1192 |
+ |
\frac{{dq}}{{dt}} & = & \frac{p}{m}, \label{introEquation:RBMotionPosition}\\ |

\frac{{dp}}{{dt}} & = & - \nabla _q V(q,Q), \label{introEquation:RBMotionMomentum}\\ |

\end{eqnarray} |
| 1197 |
+ |
In general, there are two ways to satisfy the holonomic constraints. |
| 1198 |
+ |
We can use a constraint force provided by a Lagrange multiplier on |
| 1199 |
+ |
the normal manifold to keep the motion on constraint space. Or we |
| 1200 |
+ |
can simply evolve the system on the constraint manifold. These two |
| 1201 |
+ |
methods have been proved to be equivalent. The holonomic constraint |
| 1202 |

and equations of motions define a constraint manifold for rigid |
| 1203 |

bodies |

The flow maps for $T_2^r$ and $T_3^r$ can be found in the same |

The non-canonical Lie-Poisson bracket ${F, G}$ of two function |

A harmonic bath model, in which an effective set of harmonic |

environment, has been widely used in quantum chemistry and |

statistical mechanics. One of the successful applications of |
| 1467 |

Harmonic bath model is the derivation of the Generalized Langevin |
| 1468 |

Dynamics (GLE). Lets consider a system, in which the degree of |
| 1469 |

freedom $x$ is assumed to couple to the bath linearly, giving a |
| 1470 |

Hamiltonian of the form |
| 1471 |

\begin{equation} |
| 1472 |

H = \frac{{p^2 }}{{2m}} + U(x) + H_B + \Delta U(x,x_1 , \ldots x_N) |
| 1473 |

\label{introEquation:bathGLE}. |
| 1474 |

\end{equation} |
| 1475 |

Here $p$ is a momentum conjugate to $x$, $m$ is the mass associated |
| 1476 |

with this degree of freedom, $H_B$ is a harmonic bath Hamiltonian, |
| 1477 |
> |
\[ |
| 1478 |

H_B = \sum\limits_{\alpha = 1}^N {\left\{ {\frac{{p_\alpha ^2 |
| 1479 |

| 1480 |

\right\}} |

\] |
| 1482 |

where the index $\alpha$ runs over all the bath degrees of freedom, |
| 1483 |
> |
$\omega _\alpha$ are the harmonic bath frequencies, $m_\alpha$ are |
| 1484 |

the harmonic bath masses, and $\Delta U$ is a bilinear system-bath |
| 1485 |

coupling, |
| 1486 |

\[ |
| 1487 |
> |
\Delta U = - \sum\limits_{\alpha = 1}^N {g_\alpha x_\alpha x} |
| 1488 |

\] |
| 1489 |

where $g_\alpha$ are the coupling constants between the bath |
| 1490 |

coordinates ($x_ \alpha$) and the system coordinate ($x$). |
| 1491 |

Introducing |
| 1492 |

\[ |
| 1493 |

W(x) = U(x) - \sum\limits_{\alpha = 1}^N {\frac{{g_\alpha ^2 |
| 1494 |

}}{{2m_\alpha w_\alpha ^2 }}} x^2 |
| 1495 |

\] |
| 1496 |

and combining the last two terms in Eq.~\ref{introEquation:bathGLE}, we may rewrite the Harmonic bath Hamiltonian as |
| 1497 |
> |
\[ |
| 1498 |
> |
H = \frac{{p^2 }}{{2m}} + W(x) + \sum\limits_{\alpha = 1}^N |
| 1499 |

{\left\{ {\frac{{p_\alpha ^2 }}{{2m_\alpha }} + \frac{1}{2}m_\alpha |

w_\alpha ^2 \left( {x_\alpha - \frac{{g_\alpha }}{{m_\alpha |

w_\alpha ^2 }}x} \right)^2 } \right\}}. |
| 1502 |

\] |
| 1503 |

Since the first two terms of the new Hamiltonian depend only on the |
| 1504 |

system coordinates, we can get the equations of motion for |
| 1505 |
> |
Generalized Langevin Dynamics by Hamilton's equations, |
| 1506 |
> |
\begin{equation} |
| 1507 |

m\ddot x = - \frac{{\partial W(x)}}{{\partial x}} - |
| 1508 |

\sum\limits_{\alpha = 1}^N {g_\alpha \left( {x_\alpha - |

\frac{{g_\alpha }}{{m_\alpha w_\alpha ^2 }}x} \right)}, |

\label{introEquation:coorMotionGLE} |

\end{equation} |
| 1512 |

and |
| 1513 |

\begin{equation} |

m\ddot x_\alpha = - m_\alpha w_\alpha ^2 \left( {x_\alpha - |

\end{equation} |

In order to derive an equation for $x$, the dynamics of the bath |

variables $x_\alpha$ must be solved exactly first. As an integral |

differential equations,the Laplace transform is the appropriate tool |

to solve this problem. The basic idea is to transform the difficult |

differential equations into simple algebra problems which can be |

solved easily. Then, by applying the inverse Laplace transform, also |
| 1525 |
> |
known as the Bromwich integral, we can retrieve the solutions of the |
| 1526 |

original problems. Let $f(t)$ be a function defined on $ [0,\infty ) |

where $p$ is real and $L$ is called the Laplace Transform |

The convolution integral |

For an infinite harmonic bath, we can use the spectral density and |

an integral over frequencies. |

depends on the entire history of the evolution of $x$, which implies |

that the bath retains memory of previous motions. In other words, |

the bath requires a finite time to respond to change in the motion |

of the system. For a sluggish bath which responds slowly to changes |

in the system coordinate, we may regard $\xi(t)$ as a constant |

$\xi(t) = \Xi_0$. Hence, the convolution integral becomes |

\[ |

R(t) = \sum\limits_{\alpha = 1}^N {\left( {g_\alpha x_\alpha (0) |

So we can define a new set of coordinates, |

infinitely quickly to motions in the system. Thus, $\xi (t)$ can be |

taken as a $delta$ function in time: |

And since the $q$ coordinates are harmonic oscillators, |

Hence, the convolution integral becomes |

\[ |

\begin{array}{l} |

and Eq.~\ref{introEuqation:GeneralizedLangevinDynamics} becomes |

\begin{equation} |

m\ddot x = - \frac{{\partial W(x)}}{{\partial x}} - \xi _0 \dot |

which is known as the Langevin equation. The static friction |

Defining a new set of coordinates |

\[ |

we can rewrite $R(T)$ as |

R(t) = \sum\limits_{\alpha = 1}^N {g_\alpha q_\alpha (t)}. |

And since the $q$ coordinates are harmonic oscillators, |

\begin{eqnarray*} |

\left\langle {q_\alpha ^2 } \right\rangle & = & \frac{{kT}}{{m_\alpha \omega _\alpha ^2 }} \\ |

\left\langle {R(t)R(0)} \right\rangle & = & \sum\limits_\alpha {\sum\limits_\beta {g_\alpha g_\beta \left\langle {q_\alpha (t)q_\beta (0)} \right\rangle } } \\ |
