TAMD/OTFP parameterization of a 141-knot effective pair potential: the liquid Argon/Lennard-Jones test case. (A) Value of the pair potential at separation distance 3.4 Å vs time for various values of k. −0.238 kcal/mol is the well-depth of the input LJ potential. “TF” designates a simulation in which TAMD forces were used to update z; for all other simulations, analytical forces were used. (B) Effective pair potential g(r; λ(t)) at various times during the TAMD/OTFP simulation. g is initialized with values from the WCA potential (“0”) and we show here it converges to the LJ potential (black).
