Our recent algorithm for optimizing a potential-energy function involves iterations consisting of the following three steps (9, 10): (i) updating the decoy set by a global CSA search using the current ...

In this paper we consider how two types of potential functions, the real and quantum potential can be shown to be of use in a social science context. ... The real potential is the first type, ...

In the last few years, several new algorithms based on graph cuts have been developed to solve energy minimization problems in computer vision. Each of these techniques constructs a graph such that ...

Water is the most common liquid on this planet, with many unique properties that make it essential for life as we know it. These properties must arise from features in the charge distribution of a ...

An overview is provided on the development and status of potential energy functions that are used in atomic-level statistical mechanics and molecular dynamics simulations of water and of organic and ...

Almost 50 years have passed from the first computer simulations of water, and a large number of molecular models have been proposed since then to elucidate the unique behavior of water across ...
