Abstract
Presented in the context of classical molecular mechanics and dynamics are multilevel summation methods for the fast calculation of energies/forces for pairwise interactions, which are based on the hierarchical interpolation of interaction potentials on multiple grids. The concepts and details underlying multigrid interpolation are described. For integration of molecular dynamics the use of different time steps for different interactions allows longer time steps for many of the interactions, and this can be combined with multiple grids in space. Comparison is made to the fast multipole method, and evidence is presented suggesting that for molecular simulations multigrid methods may be superior to the fast multipole method and other tree methods.

This chapter is devoted to the methods of classical mechanics that allow the study of the motion of gas, liquid and solid particles as a system of interactive, dimensionless mass points. The classical dynamic equations of motion are valid for slow and heavy particles, with typical velocities v c, c
We consider the application of canonical numerical integrators to molecular dynamics simulations. Computer experiments are done to analyze the relative merits of using canonical integrators against their noncanonical counterparts. These experiments involve the study of the properties of liquid argon
We present results of mixed quantum-classical molecular dynamics simulations of the intramolecular proton transfer in acetylacetone. Simulations are performed starting from the reactant and transition state configurations with initial velocities at each configuration chosen from an ensemble at 300 K
A method is presented to interpolate the potential energy function for a part of a system consisting of a few degrees of freedom, such as a molecule Ε½ . in solution. The method is based on a modified finite element FE interpolation scheme. The aim is to save computer time when expensive methods such
