AI总结:

本文提出基于切比雪夫和牛顿多项式展开的经典分子动力学传播子,具有可控的任意阶精度,长期稳定性可接受,计算复杂度与 velocity Verlet 相当,并支持扩展与并行化。

摘要:

经典分子动力学模拟大多采用成熟的 velocity Verlet 积分器或其他辛传播方案进行。在本工作中,我们引入了一种用于经典分子动力学的数值传播子的替代公式,该公式基于时间演化算子在切比雪夫(Chebyshev)和牛顿(Newton)多项式级数中的展开。所提出的传播子原则上具有任意阶精度,该精度可通过在级数截断后选择展开阶数来控制。然而,展开仅在包含最少项数后才能收敛,且该最少项数随时间步长线性增加。能量漂移的测量表明,多项式传播子具有可接受的长期稳定性。我们证明了所提出的技术可处理相互作用的 Lennard-Jones 粒子系统,且其随展开阶数的缩放仅为多项式,而随粒子数的缩放与常规 velocity Verlet 相同。所提出的方法原则上可进一步扩展以支持其他相互作用力场以及与恒温器(thermostat)的集成,并可并行化以加速每个时间步的计算。

英文摘要:

Classical molecular dynamics simulation is performed mostly using the established velocity Verlet integrator or other symplectic propagation schemes. In this work, an alternative formulation of numerical propagators for classical molecular dynamics is introduced based on an expansion of the time evolution operator in series of Chebyshev and Newton polynomials. The suggested propagators have, in principle, arbitrary order of accuracy which can be controlled by the choice of expansion order after that the series is truncated. However, the expansion converges only after a minimum number of terms is included in the expansion and this number increases linearly with the time step size. Measurements of the energy drift demonstrate the acceptable long-time stability of the polynomial propagators. It is shown that a system of interacting Lennard-Jones particles is tractable by the proposed technique and that the scaling with the expansion order is only polynomial while the scaling with the number of particles is the same as with the conventional velocity Verlet. The proposed method is, in principle, extendable for further interaction force fields and for integration with a thermostat, and can be parallelized to speed up the computation of every time step.
