here xi = (xi1, . . . , xid) are coordinates of the i-th particle and ∂xi is the gradient (∂xi1 , . . . , ∂xid); d is the space dimension (i.e. d = 3, usually). The potential energy function will be supposed “smooth”, i.e. analytic except, possibly, when two positions coincide. The latter exception is necessary to include the important cases of gravitational attraction or, when dealing with ele...
