Leaps algorithm

The leap-frog algorithm uses the simplest central difference I or-m n la for a derivative... 

Our discussion so far has considered the use of SHAKE with the Verlet algorithm Versions have also been derived for other integration schemes, such as the leap-froj algorithm, the predictor-corrector methods and the velocity Verlet algorithm. In the cast of the velocity Verlet algorithm, the method has been named RATTLE [Anderson 1983]... 

HyperChem employs the leap frog algorithm to integrate the equations of motion. This algorithm updates the positions of atoms and the velocities for the next time step by this calculation (equation 26). 

As described previously, the Leap-frog algorithm for molecular dynamics requires an initial configuration for the atoms and an initial set of velocity vectors. /2- These initial velocities can come... 

Figure 1 A stepwise view of the Verlet integration algorithm and its variants, (a) The basic Verlet method, (b) Leap-frog integration, (c) Velocity Verlet integration. At each algorithm dark and light gray cells indicate the initial and calculating variables, respectively. The numbers in the cells represent the orders m the calculation procedures. The arrows point from the data that are used in the calculation of the variable that is being calculated at each step.

Modifications to the basic Verlet scheme have been proposed to tackle the above deficiencies, particularly to improve the velocity evaluation. One of these modifications is the leap-frog algorithm, so called for its half-step scheme Velocities are evaluated at the midpoint of the position evaluation and vice versa [12,13]. The algorithm can be written as... 

The main disadvantage of this algorithm is that it is computationally a little more expensive than the simpler Verlet or leap-frog algorithms (though the added accuracy often outweighs this slight overhead). 

The numerical aspect, and the lack of explicit velocities, in the Verlet algorithm can be remedied by the leap-frog algorithm. Performing expansions analogous to eqs. (16.28) and (16.29) with half a time step followed by subtraction gives... 

An exhaustive search for an optimal variable subset is impossible for this data set because the number of variables is too high. Even an algorithm like leaps-and-bound cannot be applied (Section 4.5.4). Instead, variable selection can be based on a stepwise procedure (Section 4.5.3). Since it is impossible to start with the full model, we start with the empty model (regress the y-variable on a constant), with the scope... 

The above molecular dynamics equations are then solved using the the standard and robust leap-frog algorithm [29]. 

Eqs. (16.32) and (16.33) define the leap-frog algorithm, and it is seen that the positions i.e. only the positions and relative orientations of individual mnleriiles are, allowed to ...

This algorithm performs flawlessly for the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, up to the year 2100. If you really want to be meticulous beyond that, you can make further modifications by reducing D1 by 1 after March 2100, and repeating that every 100 years. You must do this because the century years like 2100 and 2200 which are not divisible by 400 are not leap years, but the algorithm treats them as if they were.
