17   Integration schemes for rotational motion of the rigid molecules in

771 %applications of langevin dynamics
772 As an excellent alternative to newtonian dynamics, Langevin
773 dynamics, which mimics a simple heat bath with stochastic and
774 dissipative forces, has been applied in a variety of studies. The
775 stochastic treatment of the solvent enables us to carry out
776 substantially longer time simulation. Implicit solvent Langevin
777 dynamics simulation of met-enkephalin not only outperforms explicit
778 solvent simulation on computation efficiency, but also agrees very
779 well with explicit solvent simulation on dynamics
780 properties\cite{Shen2002}. Recently, applying Langevin dynamics with
781 UNRES model, Liow and his coworkers suggest that protein folding
782 pathways can be possibly exploited within a reasonable amount of
783 time\cite{Liwo2005}. The stochastic nature of the Langevin dynamics
784 also enhances the sampling of the system and increases the
785 probability of crossing energy barrier\cite{Banerjee2004, Cui2003}.
786 Combining Langevin dynamics with Kramers's theory, Klimov and
787 Thirumalai identified the free-energy barrier by studying the
788 viscosity dependence of the protein folding rates\cite{Klimov1997}.
789 In order to account for solvent induced interactions missing from
790 implicit solvent model, Kaya incorporated desolvation free energy
791 barrier into implicit coarse-grained solvent model in protein
792 folding/unfolding study and discovered a higher free energy barrier
793 between the native and denatured states. Because of its stability
794 against noise, Langevin dynamics is very suitable for studying
795 remagnetization processes in various
796 systems\cite{Garcia-Palacios1998,Berkov2002,Denisov2003}. For
797 instance, the oscillation power spectrum of nanoparticles from
798 Langevin dynamics simulation has the same peak frequencies for
799 different wave vectors,which recovers the property of magnetic
800 excitations in small finite structures\cite{Berkov2005a}. In an
801 attempt to reduce the computational cost of simulation, multiple
802 time stepping (MTS) methods have been introduced and have been of
803 great interest to macromolecule and protein
804 community\cite{Tuckerman1992}. Relying on the observation that
805 forces between distant atoms generally demonstrate slower
806 fluctuations than forces between close atoms, MTS method are
807 generally implemented by evaluating the slowly fluctuating forces
808 less frequently than the fast ones. Unfortunately, nonlinear
809 instability resulting from increasing timestep in MTS simulation
810 have became a critical obstruction preventing the long time
811 simulation. Due to the coupling to the heat bath, Langevin dynamics
812 has been shown to be able to damp out the resonance artifact more
813 efficiently\cite{Sandu1999}.
814
815 %review rigid body dynamics
816 Rigid bodies are frequently involved in the modeling of different
817 areas, from engineering, physics, to chemistry. For example,
818 missiles and vehicle are usually modeled by rigid bodies.  The
819 movement of the objects in 3D gaming engine or other physics
820 simulator is governed by the rigid body dynamics. In molecular
821 simulation, rigid body is used to simplify the model in
822 protein-protein docking study\cite{Gray2003}.
823
824 It is very important to develop stable and efficient methods to
825 integrate the equations of motion of orientational degrees of
826 freedom. Euler angles are the nature choice to describe the
827 rotational degrees of freedom. However, due to its singularity, the
828 numerical integration of corresponding equations of motion is very
829 inefficient and inaccurate. Although an alternative integrator using
830 different sets of Euler angles can overcome this
831 difficulty\cite{Ryckaert1977, Andersen1983}, the computational
832 penalty and the lost of angular momentum conservation still remain.
833 In 1977, a singularity free representation utilizing quaternions was
834 developed by Evans\cite{Evans1977}. Unfortunately, this approach
835 suffer from the nonseparable Hamiltonian resulted from quaternion
836 representation, which prevents the symplectic algorithm to be
837 utilized. Another different approach is to apply holonomic
838 constraints to the atoms belonging to the rigid
839 body\cite{Barojas1973}. Each atom moves independently under the
840 normal forces deriving from potential energy and constraint forces
841 which are used to guarantee the rigidness. However, due to their
842 iterative nature, SHAKE and Rattle algorithm converge very slowly
843 when the number of constraint increases.
844
845 The break through in geometric literature suggests that, in order to
846 develop a long-term integration scheme, one should preserve the
847 geometric structure of the flow. Matubayasi and Nakahara developed a
848 time-reversible integrator for rigid bodies in quaternion
849 representation. Although it is not symplectic, this integrator still
850 demonstrates a better long-time energy conservation than traditional
851 methods because of the time-reversible nature. Extending
852 Trotter-Suzuki to general system with a flat phase space, Miller and
853 his colleagues devised an novel symplectic, time-reversible and
854 volume-preserving integrator in quaternion representation. However,
855 all of the integrators in quaternion representation suffer from the
856 computational penalty of constructing a rotation matrix from
857 quaternions to evolve coordinates and velocities at every time step.
858 An alternative integration scheme utilizing rotation matrix directly
859 is RSHAKE\cite{Kol1997}, in which a conjugate momentum to rotation
860 matrix is introduced to re-formulate the Hamiltonian's equation and
861 the Hamiltonian is evolved in a constraint manifold by iteratively
862 satisfying the orthogonality constraint. However, RSHAKE is
863 inefficient because of the iterative procedure. An extremely
864 efficient integration scheme in rotation matrix representation,
865 which also preserves the same structural properties of the
866 Hamiltonian flow as Miller's integrator, is proposed by Dullweber,
867 Leimkuhler and McLachlan (DLM)\cite{Dullweber1997}.
868
869 %review langevin/browninan dynamics for arbitrarily shaped rigid body
870 Combining Langevin or Brownian dynamics with rigid body dynamics,
871 one can study the slow processes in biomolecular systems. Modeling
872 the DNA as a chain of rigid spheres beads, which subject to harmonic
873 potentials as well as excluded volume potentials, Mielke and his
874 coworkers discover rapid superhelical stress generations from the
875 stochastic simulation of twin supercoiling DNA with response to
876 induced torques\cite{Mielke2004}. Membrane fusion is another key
877 biological process which controls a variety of physiological
878 functions, such as release of neurotransmitters \textit{etc}. A
879 typical fusion event happens on the time scale of millisecond, which
880 is impracticable to study using all atomistic model with newtonian
881 mechanics. With the help of coarse-grained rigid body model and
882 stochastic dynamics, the fusion pathways were exploited by many
883 researchers\cite{Noguchi2001,Noguchi2002,Shillcock2005}. Due to the
884 difficulty of numerical integration of anisotropy rotation, most of
885 the rigid body models are simply modeled by sphere, cylinder,
886 ellipsoid or other regular shapes in stochastic simulations. In an
887 effort to account for the diffusion anisotropy of the arbitrary
888 particles, Fernandes and de la Torre improved the original Brownian
889 dynamics simulation algorithm\cite{Ermak1978,Allison1991} by
890 incorporating a generalized $6\times6$ diffusion tensor and
891 introducing a simple rotation evolution scheme consisting of three
892 consecutive rotations\cite{Fernandes2002}. Unfortunately, unexpected
893 error and bias are introduced into the system due to the arbitrary
894 order of applying the noncommuting rotation
895 operators\cite{Beard2003}. Based on the observation the momentum
896 relaxation time is much less than the time step, one may ignore the
897 inertia in Brownian dynamics. However, assumption of the zero
898 average acceleration is not always true for cooperative motion which
899 is common in protein motion. An inertial Brownian dynamics (IBD) was
900 proposed to address this issue by adding an inertial correction
901 term\cite{Beard2001}. As a complement to IBD which has a lower bound
902 in time step because of the inertial relaxation time, long-time-step
903 inertial dynamics (LTID) can be used to investigate the inertial
904 behavior of the polymer segments in low friction
905 regime\cite{Beard2001}. LTID can also deal with the rotational
906 dynamics for nonskew bodies without translation-rotation coupling by
907 separating the translation and rotation motion and taking advantage
908 of the analytical solution of hydrodynamics properties. However,
909 typical nonskew bodies like cylinder and ellipsoid are inadequate to
910 represent most complex macromolecule assemblies. These intricate
911 molecules have been represented by a set of beads and their
912 hydrodynamics properties can be calculated using variant
913 hydrodynamic interaction tensors.
914
915 The goal of the present work is to develop a Langevin dynamics
916 algorithm for arbitrary rigid particles by integrating the accurate
917 estimation of friction tensor from hydrodynamics theory into the
918 sophisticated rigid body dynamics.
919
920
921 \subsection{Friction Tensor}
922
923 For an arbitrary rigid body moves in a fluid, it may experience
924 friction force $f_r$ or friction torque $\tau _r$ along the opposite
925 direction of the velocity $v$ or angular velocity $\omega$ at
926 arbitrary origin $P$,
927 \begin{equation}
928 \left( \begin{array}{l}
929 f_r  \\
930 \tau _r  \\
931 \end{array} \right) =  - \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
932   {\Xi _{P,t} } & {\Xi _{P,c}^T }  \\
933   {\Xi _{P,c} } & {\Xi _{P,r} }  \\
934 \end{array}} \right)\left( \begin{array}{l}
935 \nu  \\
936 \omega  \\
937 \end{array} \right)
745   \end{equation}
939 where $\Xi _{P,t}t$ is the translation friction tensor, $\Xi _{P,r}$
940 is the rotational friction tensor and $\Xi _{P,c}$ is the
941 translation-rotation coupling tensor. The procedure of calculating
942 friction tensor using hydrodynamic tensor and comparison between
943 bead model and shell model were elaborated by Carrasco \textit{et
944 al}\cite{Carrasco1999}. An important property of the friction tensor
945 is that the translational friction tensor is independent of origin
946 while the rotational and coupling are sensitive to the choice of the
947 origin \cite{Brenner1967}, which can be described by
948 \begin{equation}
949 \begin{array}{c}
950 \Xi _{P,t}  = \Xi _{O,t}  = \Xi _t  \\
951 \Xi _{P,c}  = \Xi _{O,c}  - r_{OP}  \times \Xi _t  \\
952 \Xi _{P,r}  = \Xi _{O,r}  - r_{OP}  \times \Xi _t  \times r_{OP}  + \Xi _{O,c}  \times r_{OP}  - r_{OP}  \times \Xi _{O,c}^T  \\
953 \end{array}
954 \end{equation}
955 Where $O$ is another origin and $r_{OP}$ is the vector joining $O$
956 and $P$. It is also worthy of mention that both of translational and
957 rotational frictional tensors are always symmetric. In contrast,
958 coupling tensor is only symmetric at center of reaction:
959 \begin{equation}
960 \Xi _{R,c}  = \Xi _{R,c}^T
961 \end{equation}
962 The proper location for applying friction force is the center of
963 reaction, at which the trace of rotational resistance tensor reaches
964 minimum.
965
966 \subsection{Rigid body dynamics}
967
968 The Hamiltonian of rigid body can be separated in terms of potential
969 energy $V(r,A)$ and kinetic energy $T(p,\pi)$,
970 \[
971 H = V(r,A) + T(v,\pi )
972 \]
973 A second-order symplectic method is now obtained by the composition
974 of the flow maps,
975 \[
976 \varphi _{\Delta t}  = \varphi _{\Delta t/2,V}  \circ \varphi
977 _{\Delta t,T}  \circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,V}.
978 \]
979 Moreover, $\varphi _{\Delta t/2,V}$ can be divided into two
980 sub-flows which corresponding to force and torque respectively,
981 \[
982 \varphi _{\Delta t/2,V}  = \varphi _{\Delta t/2,F}  \circ \varphi
983 _{\Delta t/2,\tau }.
984 \]
985 Since the associated operators of $\varphi _{\Delta t/2,F} $ and
986 $\circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\tau }$ are commuted, the composition
987 order inside $\varphi _{\Delta t/2,V}$ does not matter.
988
989 Furthermore, kinetic potential can be separated to translational
990 kinetic term, $T^t (p)$, and rotational kinetic term, $T^r (\pi )$,
991 \begin{equation}
992 T(p,\pi ) =T^t (p) + T^r (\pi ).
993 \end{equation}
994 where $ T^t (p) = \frac{1}{2}v^T m v $ and $T^r (\pi )$ is defined
995 by \ref{introEquation:rotationalKineticRB}. Therefore, the
996 corresponding flow maps are given by
997 \[
998 \varphi _{\Delta t,T}  = \varphi _{\Delta t,T^t }  \circ \varphi
999 _{\Delta t,T^r }.
1000 \]
1001 The free rigid body is an example of Lie-Poisson system with
1002 Hamiltonian function
1003 \begin{equation}
1004 T^r (\pi ) = T_1 ^r (\pi _1 ) + T_2^r (\pi _2 ) + T_3^r (\pi _3 )
1005 \label{introEquation:rotationalKineticRB}
1006 \end{equation}
1007 where $T_i^r (\pi _i ) = \frac{{\pi _i ^2 }}{{2I_i }}$ and
1008 Lie-Poisson structure matrix,
1009 \begin{equation}
1010 J(\pi ) = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
1011   0 & {\pi _3 } & { - \pi _2 }  \\
1012   { - \pi _3 } & 0 & {\pi _1 }  \\
1013   {\pi _2 } & { - \pi _1 } & 0  \\
1014 \end{array}} \right)
1015 \end{equation}
1016 Thus, the dynamics of free rigid body is governed by
1017 \begin{equation}
1018 \frac{d}{{dt}}\pi  = J(\pi )\nabla _\pi  T^r (\pi )
1019 \end{equation}
1020 One may notice that each $T_i^r$ in Equation
1021 \ref{introEquation:rotationalKineticRB} can be solved exactly. For
1022 instance, the equations of motion due to $T_1^r$ are given by
1023 \begin{equation}
1024 \frac{d}{{dt}}\pi  = R_1 \pi ,\frac{d}{{dt}}A = AR_1
1025 \label{introEqaution:RBMotionSingleTerm}
1026 \end{equation}
1027 where
1028 \[ R_1  = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
1029   0 & 0 & 0  \\
1030   0 & 0 & {\pi _1 }  \\
1031   0 & { - \pi _1 } & 0  \\
1032 \end{array}} \right).
1033 \]
1034 The solutions of Equation \ref{introEqaution:RBMotionSingleTerm} is
1035 \[
1036 \pi (\Delta t) = e^{\Delta tR_1 } \pi (0),A(\Delta t) =
1037 A(0)e^{\Delta tR_1 }
1038 \]
1039 with
1040 \[
1041 e^{\Delta tR_1 }  = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
1042   0 & 0 & 0  \\
1043   0 & {\cos \theta _1 } & {\sin \theta _1 }  \\
1044   0 & { - \sin \theta _1 } & {\cos \theta _1 }  \\
1045 \end{array}} \right),\theta _1  = \frac{{\pi _1 }}{{I_1 }}\Delta t.
1046 \]
1047 To reduce the cost of computing expensive functions in $e^{\Delta
1048 tR_1 }$, we can use Cayley transformation,
1049 \[
1050 e^{\Delta tR_1 }  \approx (1 - \Delta tR_1 )^{ - 1} (1 + \Delta tR_1
1051 )
1052 \]
1053 The flow maps for $T_2^r$ and $T_3^r$ can be found in the same
1054 manner.
1055
1056 In order to construct a second-order symplectic method, we split the
1057 angular kinetic Hamiltonian function into five terms
1058 \[
1059 T^r (\pi ) = \frac{1}{2}T_1 ^r (\pi _1 ) + \frac{1}{2}T_2^r (\pi _2
1060 ) + T_3^r (\pi _3 ) + \frac{1}{2}T_2^r (\pi _2 ) + \frac{1}{2}T_1 ^r
1061 (\pi _1 )
1062 \].
1063 Concatenating flows corresponding to these five terms, we can obtain
1064 the flow map for free rigid body,
1065 \[
1066 \varphi _{\Delta t,T^r }  = \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _1 }  \circ
1067 \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _2 }  \circ \varphi _{\Delta t,\pi _3 }
1068 \circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _2 }  \circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi
1069 _1 }.
1070 \]
1071
1072 The equations of motion corresponding to potential energy and
1073 kinetic energy are listed in the below table,
1074 \begin{center}
1075 \begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
1076  \hline
1077  % after \\: \hline or \cline{col1-col2} \cline{col3-col4} ...
1078  Potential & Kinetic \\
1079  $\frac{{dq}}{{dt}} = \frac{p}{m}$ & $\frac{d}{{dt}}q = p$ \\
1080  $\frac{d}{{dt}}p =  - \frac{{\partial V}}{{\partial q}}$ & $ \frac{d}{{dt}}p = 0$ \\
1081  $\frac{d}{{dt}}Q = 0$ & $ \frac{d}{{dt}}Q = Qskew(I^{ - 1} j)$ \\
1082  $ \frac{d}{{dt}}\pi  = \sum\limits_i {\left( {Q^T F_i (r,Q)} \right) \times X_i }$ & $\frac{d}{{dt}}\pi  = \pi  \times I^{ - 1} \pi$\\
1083  \hline
1084 \end{tabular}
1085 \end{center}
1086
1087 Finally, we obtain the overall symplectic flow maps for free moving
1088 rigid body
1089 \begin{align*}
1090 \varphi _{\Delta t}  = &\varphi _{\Delta t/2,F}  \circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\tau } \circ  \\
1091  &\varphi _{\Delta t,T^t }  \circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _1 }  \circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _2 }  \circ \varphi _{\Delta t,\pi _3 }  \circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _2 }  \circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,\pi _1 } \circ  \\
1092  &\varphi _{\Delta t/2,\tau }  \circ \varphi _{\Delta t/2,F}  .\\

1096 \subsection{Langevin dynamics for rigid particles of arbitrary shape}
1097
1098 Consider a Langevin equation of motions in generalized coordinates
1099 \begin{equation}
1100 M_i \dot V_i (t) = F_{s,i} (t) + F_{f,i(t)}  + F_{r,i} (t)
1101 \label{LDGeneralizedForm}
1102 \end{equation}
1103 where $M_i$ is a $6\times6$ generalized diagonal mass (include mass
1104 and moment of inertial) matrix and $V_i$ is a generalized velocity,
1105 $V_i = V_i(v_i,\omega _i)$. The right side of Eq.
1106 (\ref{LDGeneralizedForm}) consists of three generalized forces in
1107 lab-fixed frame, systematic force $F_{s,i}$, dissipative force
1108 $F_{f,i}$ and stochastic force $F_{r,i}$. While the evolution of the
1109 system in Newtownian mechanics typically refers to lab-fixed frame,
1110 it is also convenient to handle the rotation of rigid body in
1111 body-fixed frame. Thus the friction and random forces are calculated
1112 in body-fixed frame and converted back to lab-fixed frame by:
1113 \[
1114 \begin{array}{l}
1115 F_{f,i}^l (t) = A^T F_{f,i}^b (t), \\
1116 F_{r,i}^l (t) = A^T F_{r,i}^b (t) \\
1117 \end{array}.
1118 \]
1119 Here, the body-fixed friction force $F_{r,i}^b$ is proportional to
1120 the body-fixed velocity at center of resistance $v_{R,i}^b$ and
1121 angular velocity $\omega _i$,
1122 \begin{equation}
1123 F_{r,i}^b (t) = \left( \begin{array}{l}
1124 f_{r,i}^b (t) \\
1125 \tau _{r,i}^b (t) \\
1126 \end{array} \right) =  - \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c}
1127   {\Xi _{R,t} } & {\Xi _{R,c}^T }  \\
1128   {\Xi _{R,c} } & {\Xi _{R,r} }  \\
1129 \end{array}} \right)\left( \begin{array}{l}
1130 v_{R,i}^b (t) \\
1131 \omega _i (t) \\
1132 \end{array} \right),
1133 \end{equation}
1134 while the random force $F_{r,i}^l$ is a Gaussian stochastic variable
1135 with zero mean and variance
1136 \begin{equation}
1137 \left\langle {F_{r,i}^l (t)(F_{r,i}^l (t'))^T } \right\rangle  =
1138 \left\langle {F_{r,i}^b (t)(F_{r,i}^b (t'))^T } \right\rangle  =
1139 2k_B T\Xi _R \delta (t - t').
1140 \end{equation}
1141 The equation of motion for $v_i$ can be written as
1142 \begin{equation}
1143 m\dot v_i (t) = f_{t,i} (t) = f_{s,i} (t) + f_{f,i}^l (t) +
1144 f_{r,i}^l (t)
1145 \end{equation}
1146 Since the frictional force is applied at the center of resistance
1147 which generally does not coincide with the center of mass, an extra
1148 torque is exerted at the center of mass. Thus, the net body-fixed
1149 frictional torque at the center of mass, $\tau _{n,i}^b (t)$, is
1150 given by
1151 \begin{equation}
1152 \tau _{r,i}^b = \tau _{r,i}^b +r_{MR} \times f_{r,i}^b
1153 \end{equation}
1154 where $r_{MR}$ is the vector from the center of mass to the center
1155 of the resistance. Instead of integrating angular velocity in
1156 lab-fixed frame, we consider the equation of motion of angular
1157 momentum in body-fixed frame
1158 \begin{equation}
1159 \dot \pi _i (t) = \tau _{t,i} (t) = \tau _{s,i} (t) + \tau _{f,i}^b
1160 (t) + \tau _{r,i}^b(t)
1161 \end{equation}
1162
1163 Embedding the friction terms into force and torque, one can
1164 integrate the langevin equations of motion for rigid body of
1165 arbitrary shape in a velocity-Verlet style 2-part algorithm, where
1166 $h= \delta t$:
1167
1168 {\tt part one:}
1169 \begin{align*}
1170 v_i (t + h/2) &\leftarrow v_i (t) + \frac{{hf_{t,i}^l (t)}}{{2m_i }} \\
1171 \pi _i (t + h/2) &\leftarrow \pi _i (t) + \frac{{h\tau _{t,i}^b (t)}}{2} \\
1172 r_i (t + h) &\leftarrow r_i (t) + hv_i (t + h/2) \\
1173 A_i (t + h) &\leftarrow rotate\left( {h\pi _i (t + h/2)I^{ - 1} } \right) \\
1174 \end{align*}
1175 In this context, the $\mathrm{rotate}$ function is the reversible
1176 product of five consecutive body-fixed rotations,
1177 \begin{equation}
1178 \mathrm{rotate}({\bf a}) = \mathsf{G}_x(a_x / 2) \cdot
1179 \mathsf{G}_y(a_y / 2) \cdot \mathsf{G}_z(a_z) \cdot \mathsf{G}_y(a_y
1180 / 2) \cdot \mathsf{G}_x(a_x /2),
1181 \end{equation}
1182 where each rotational propagator, $\mathsf{G}_\alpha(\theta)$,
1183 rotates both the rotation matrix ($\mathsf{A}$) and the body-fixed
1184 angular momentum ($\pi$) by an angle $\theta$ around body-fixed axis
1185 $\alpha$,
1186 \begin{equation}
1187 \mathsf{G}_\alpha( \theta ) = \left\{
1188 \begin{array}{lcl}
1189 \mathsf{A}(t) & \leftarrow & \mathsf{A}(0) \cdot \mathsf{R}_\alpha(\theta)^T, \\
1190 {\bf j}(t) & \leftarrow & \mathsf{R}_\alpha(\theta) \cdot {\bf
1191 j}(0).
1192 \end{array}
1193 \right.
1194 \end{equation}
1195 $\mathsf{R}_\alpha$ is a quadratic approximation to the single-axis
1196 rotation matrix.  For example, in the small-angle limit, the
1197 rotation matrix around the body-fixed x-axis can be approximated as
1198 \begin{equation}
1199 \mathsf{R}_x(\theta) \approx \left(
1200 \begin{array}{ccc}
1201 1 & 0 & 0 \\
1202 0 & \frac{1-\theta^2 / 4}{1 + \theta^2 / 4}  & -\frac{\theta}{1+
1203 \theta^2 / 4} \\
1204 0 & \frac{\theta}{1+ \theta^2 / 4} & \frac{1-\theta^2 / 4}{1 +
1205 \theta^2 / 4}
1206 \end{array}
1207 \right).
1208 \end{equation}
1209 All other rotations follow in a straightforward manner.
1210
1211 After the first part of the propagation, the friction and random
1212 forces are generated at the center of resistance in body-fixed frame
1213 and converted back into lab-fixed frame
1214 \[
1215 f_{t,i}^l (t + h) =  - \left( {\frac{{\partial V}}{{\partial r_i }}}
1216 \right)_{r_i (t + h)}  + A_i^T (t + h)[F_{f,i}^b (t + h) + F_{r,i}^b
1217 (t + h)],
1218 \]
1219 while the system torque in lab-fixed frame is transformed into
1220 body-fixed frame,
1221 \[
1222 \tau _{t,i}^b (t + h) = A\tau _{s,i}^l (t) + \tau _{n,i}^b (t) +
1223 \tau _{r,i}^b (t).
1224 \]
1225 Once the forces and torques have been obtained at the new time step,
1226 the velocities can be advanced to the same time value.
1227
1228 {\tt part two:}
1229 \begin{align*}
1230 v_i (t) &\leftarrow v_i (t + h/2) + \frac{{hf_{t,i}^l (t + h)}}{{2m_i }} \\
1231 \pi _i (t) &\leftarrow \pi _i (t + h/2) + \frac{{h\tau _{t,i}^b (t + h)}}{2} \\
1232 \end{align*}
