A modification of the Adaptive Biasing Force method is introduced, in which the free energy is approximated by a sum of tensor products of one-dimensional functions. This enables to handle a larger number of reaction coordinates than the…
Recently it has been shown that the control energy required to control a dynamical complex network is prohibitively large when there are only a few control inputs. Most methods to reduce the control energy have focused on where, in the…
