Convergence of dielectric boundary forces (kcal/(mol Å)) in the spherical analytical systems. σ and rmsd are, respectively, the average standard deviations of dielectric boundary forces and average root mean squared deviations of dielectric boundary forces from analytical values. Both σ and rmsd are computed over the 30 bins used to divide the spherical surface.
