the parameter, ξp, is an energy conservation factor to cancel the energy input from the guiding force and can be calculated by: igi(t)·i(t)=0. γ0 = 1/ps is a force converting factor.

2

In SGMD, only nonbonded forces, fi(nb), are used to calculated the guiding force.

3

SGMDp is SGLD with γi = 0.

4

SGMDfp is SGLDfp with γi = 0.
