元动力学（Metadynamics）是一类广泛应用于分子建模的增强采样方法。本文考虑具有一维集体变量的元动力学，结合现有收敛结果探究使用高斯山丘（Gaussian hills）的局限性。我们将对应的演化问题约化为复制子型微分方程并分析其长时间行为。对于周期性集体变量，我们证明了元动力学的收敛性；但当集体变量定义在有限区间上时，情况根本不同，此时稳态解仅以有限原子测度的弱形式存在，微分方程的解会弱收敛到该测度，导致元动力学因缺乏明确的准稳态状态而失效。仅当有限区间外的自由能在与σ相比足够大的区域内保持近似恒定时，才能在“INTERVAL”框架中捕获准稳态瞬态解。
英文摘要
Metadynamics is a class of enhanced-sampling methods that is widely used in molecular modeling. Here, we consider metadynamics with a one-dimensional collective variable and explore the limitations of using Gaussian hills in light of existing convergence results. We reduce the corresponding evolution problem to a replicator-type differential equation and analyze its long-time behavior. For a periodic collective variable, we prove the convergence of metadynamics. However, the situation is fundamentally different when the collective variable is defined on a finite interval. In this case, the stationary solution only exists in the weak sense as a finite atomic measure. The solution to the differential equation weakly converges to it. Consequently, metadynamics is ineffective due to the absence of a clear quasi-stationary state. A quasi-stationary, transient solution can only be captured in the "INTERVAL" framework if the free energy outside the finite interval remains nearly constant across sufficiently large regions compared to $σ$.
