Interpolating Moving Least Squares Methods for Fitting Potential Energy Surfaces: Detailed Analysis of One-Dimensional Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the basic formal and numerical aspects of higher-degree interpolated moving least squares (IMLS) methods. For simplicity, applications of these methods are restricted to two 1-D test cases: a Morse oscillator and a 1-D slice of the potential energy surface. For these two test cases, we systematically examine the effect of parameters in the weight function (intrinsic to IMLS methods), the degree of the IMLS fit, and the number and placement of potential energy points. From this systematic study, we discover compact and accurate representations of potentials and their derivatives for first-degree and higher-degree (up to nine-degree) IMLS fits. We show how the number of ab initio points needed to achieve a given accuracy declines with the degree of the IMLS. We outline automatic procedures for ab initio point selection that can optimize this decline. 2 2 N H HN + →

Interpolating moving least-squares methods for fitting potential energy surfaces: applications to classical dynamics calculations.
As a continuation of our efforts to develop efficient and accurate interpolating moving least-squares (IMLS) methods for generating potential energy surfaces, we carry out classical trajectories and compute kinetics properties on higher degree IMLS surfaces. In this study, we have investigated the choice of coordinate system, the range of points (i.e., the cutoff radius) used in fitting, and st...
متن کاملPredictive Theoretical Kinetics of the Pressure - Dependent Spin - Forbidden Reaction O + CO → CO 2
The kinetics of the spin-forbidden reaction CO + O → CO2 is fully characterized theoretically. Global analytic representations of the lowest-energy singlet surface, the two lowest-energy triplet surfaces, and their spin–orbit coupling surfaces are obtained via dynamic weighted multireference electronic structure theory calculations and the interpolated moving least squares (IMLS) semiautomated ...
متن کاملSurfaces Generated by Moving Least Squares Methods
An analysis of moving least squares (m.l.s.) methods for smoothing and interpolating scattered data is presented. In particular, theorems are proved concerning the smoothness of interpolants and the description of m.l.s. processes as projection methods. Some properties of compositions of the m.l.s. projector, with projectors associated with finiteelement schemes, are also considered. The analys...
متن کاملOptimal Pareto Parametric Analysis of Two Dimensional Steady-State Heat Conduction Problems by MLPG Method
Numerical solutions obtained by the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method are presented for two dimensional steady-state heat conduction problems. The MLPG method is a truly meshless approach, and neither the nodal connectivity nor the background mesh is required for solving the initial-boundary-value problem. The penalty method is adopted to efficiently enforce the essential boundary co...
متن کاملNitrous oxide dimer: a new potential energy surface and rovibrational spectrum of the nonpolar isomer.
The spectrum of nitrous oxide dimer was investigated by constructing new potential energy surfaces using coupled-cluster theory and solving the rovibrational Schrödinger equation with a Lanczos algorithm. Two four-dimensional (rigid monomer) global ab initio potential energy surfaces (PESs) were made using an interpolating moving least-squares (IMLS) fitting procedure specialized to describe th...
