We consider the effect of a small cut-off epsilon on the velocity of a traveling wave in one dimension. Simulations done over more than ten orders of magnitude as well as a simple theoretical argument indicate that the effect of the cut-off…

The Lennard-Jones 12-6 potential (LJ) is arguably the most widely used pair potential in Molecular Simulations. In fact, it is so popular that the question is rarely asked whether it is fit for purpose. In this paper, we argue that, whilst…

In Molecular Dynamics (MD), the forces applied to atoms derive from potentials which describe the energy of bonds, valence angles, torsion angles, and Lennard-Jones interactions of which molecules are made. These de finitions are classic;…
In order to incorporate the finite range effect into effective interactions, a modification of the Skyrme force by introducing a cut-off factor for high momentum transfers is proposed. The parameters of the cut-off factor are determined by…
