Detailed Description

Colvar component (base class for collective variables)

A colvar::cvc object (or an object of a cvc-derived class) implements the calculation of a collective variable, its gradients and any other related physical quantities that depend on microscopic degrees of freedom.

No restriction is set to what kind of calculation a colvar::cvc object performs (usually an analytical function of atomic coordinates). The only constraints are that:

• The value is calculated by the calc_value() method, and is an object of colvarvalue class. This provides a transparent way to treat scalar and non-scalar variables alike, and allows an automatic selection of the applicable algorithms.
• The object provides an implementation apply_force() to apply forces to atoms. Typically, one or more colvarmodule::atom_group objects are used, but this is not a requirement for as long as the colvar::cvc object communicates with the simulation program.

If you wish to implement a new collective variable component, you should write your own class by inheriting directly from colvar::cvc, or one of its derived classes (for instance, colvar::distance is frequently used, because it provides useful data and function members for any colvar based on two atom groups).

The steps are:

1. Declare the new class as a derivative of colvar::cvc in the file colvarcomp.h
2. Implement the new class in a file named colvarcomp_<something>.cpp
3. Declare the name of the new class inside the colvar class in colvar.h (see "list of available components")
4. Add a call for the new class in colvar::init_components() (file: colvar.cpp)

collect_gradients()

void colvar::cvc::collect_gradients ( std::vector< int > const &  atom_ids, std::vector< cvm::rvector > &  atomic_gradients  )

virtual

Calculate atomic gradients and add them to the corresponding item in gradient vector May be overridden by CVCs that do not store their gradients in the classic way, see dihedPC.

Reimplemented in colvar::alpha_angles, and colvar::dihedPC.

dist2()

cvm::real colvar::cvc::dist2 ( colvarvalue const &  x1, colvarvalue const &  x2  ) const

virtual

Square distance between x1 and x2 (can be redefined to transparently implement metrics in multi-dimensional spaces with or without constraints, symmetries and periodicities). The default implementation assumes scalar numbers and no symmetries or periodicities.

If symmetries or periodicities are present, the colvar::cvc::dist2() should be redefined to return the "closest distance" value and colvar::cvc::dist2_lgrad(), colvar::cvc::dist2_rgrad() to return its gradients.

If constraints are present (and not already implemented by any of the colvarvalue types), the colvar::cvc::dist2_lgrad() and colvar::cvc::dist2_rgrad() functions should be redefined to provide a gradient which is compatible with the constraint, i.e. already deprived of its component normal to the constraint hypersurface.

Reimplemented in colvar::distance_vec, colvar::distance_dir, colvar::distance_pairs, colvar::orientation, colvar::orientation_angle, colvar::cartesian, colvar::linearCombination, colvar::CVBasedPath, and colvar::neuralNetwork.

dist2_lgrad()

colvarvalue colvar::cvc::dist2_lgrad ( colvarvalue const &  x1, colvarvalue const &  x2  ) const

virtual

Gradient(with respect to x1) of the square distance (can be redefined to transparently implement constraints, symmetries and periodicities)

Reimplemented in colvar::distance_vec, colvar::distance_dir, colvar::distance_pairs, colvar::orientation, colvar::orientation_angle, colvar::cartesian, colvar::linearCombination, colvar::CVBasedPath, and colvar::neuralNetwork.

dist2_rgrad()

colvarvalue colvar::cvc::dist2_rgrad ( colvarvalue const &  x1, colvarvalue const &  x2  ) const

virtual

Gradient(with respect to x2) of the square distance (can be redefined to transparently implement constraints, symmetries and periodicities)

Reimplemented in colvar::distance_vec, colvar::distance_dir, colvar::distance_pairs, colvar::orientation, colvar::orientation_angle, colvar::cartesian, colvar::linearCombination, colvar::CVBasedPath, and colvar::neuralNetwork.
