Communication: Iteration-free, weighted histogram analysis method in terms of intensive variables.
We present an iteration-free weighted histogram method in terms of intensive variables that directly determines the inverse statistical temperature, β(S) = ∂S/∂E, with S the microcanonical entropy. The method eliminates iterative evaluations of the partition functions intrinsic to the conventional approach and leads to a dramatic acceleration of the posterior analysis of combining statistically...
متن کاملThe Weighted Histogram Analysis Method for Free-Energy Calculations
The Weighted Histogram Analysis Method (WHAM), an extension of Ferrenberg and Swendsen’s Multiple Histogram Technique, has been applied for the first time on complex biomolecular Hamiltonians. The method is presented here as an extension of the Umbrella Sampling method for free-energy and Potential of Mean Force calculations. This algorithm possesses the following advantages over methods that a...
متن کاملThe Weighted Histogram Analysis Method (WHAM)
There are situations in which it is necessary to combine samples obtained under different simulation conditions to determine properties (e.g. averages or PMFs) of the system under a single condition (which may not even be one of the conditions that were actually simulated). One example is the determination of a PMF to obtain accurate measures of a free energy barrier. If the barrier is substant...
متن کاملConvergence and error estimation in free energy calculations using the weighted histogram analysis method
The weighted histogram analysis method (WHAM) has become the standard technique for the analysis of umbrella sampling simulations. In this article, we address the challenges (1) of obtaining fast and accurate solutions of the coupled nonlinear WHAM equations, (2) of quantifying the statistical errors of the resulting free energies, (3) of diagnosing possible systematic errors, and (4) of optima...
متن کاملVariational Iteration Method for Free Vibration Analysis of a Timoshenko Beam under Various Boundary Conditions
In this paper, a relatively new method, namely variational iteration method (VIM), is developed for free vibration analysis of a Timoshenko beam with different boundary conditions. In the VIM, an appropriate Lagrange multiplier is first chosen according to order of the governing differential equation of the boundary value problem, and then an iteration process is used till the desired accuracy ...
