Hello.
I have a question concerning the equations of motion used by MMTK to
perform molecular dynamics. According to the paper K. Hinsen, J. Comput.
Chem., Vol. 21, No. 2, 79-85 (2000), MMTK uses the set of equations of
motion derived by Kneller and Mülders (G. Kneller, T. Mülders, Phys.
Rev. E, Vol. 54, No. 6 (1996)).
Having a look at this paper by Kneller and Mülders it is seen (if I
understand it correctly) that more than one set of equations of motions
are derived:
1)
A set of equation derived by Lagrangians, projector techniques and
Dirac's theory of constrained Hamitonian dynamics.
2)
A set of equations derived as generalized Euler equations for linked
rigid bodies.
My question is: which of these sets of equations are used by MMTK to
perform MD?
Kind regards
Andreas
