At any geometry g.], the gradient vector having components d EjJd Q. provides the forces (F. = -d Ej l d 2.) along each of the coordinates Q-. These forces are used in molecular dynamics simulations which solve the Newton F = ma equations and in molecular mechanics studies which are aimed at locating those geometries where the F vector vanishes (i.e. tire stable isomers and transition states discussed above).

In this equation, the gradient term U(qx)Wtta (Rx)U(qx) Vr,z (Rx) = W > (R x) Vr x (Rx) still appears and, as mentioned before, introduces numerical inefficiencies in its solution. Even though a truncated Bom-Huang expansion was used to obtain Eq. (53), wJja (Rx), although no longer zero, has no poles at conical intersection geometries [as opposed to the full W (Rx) matrix]. 

The —(/i /2p)W (Rx) matrix does not have poles at conical intersection geometries [as opposed to W (R )] and furthermore it only appears as an additive term to the diabatic energy matrix (q ) and does not increase the computational effort for the solution of Eq. (55). Since the neglected gradient term is expected to be small, it can be reintroduced as a first-order perturbation afterward, if desired.
