Umbrella sampling in non-equilibrium computer simulations
We describe the application of the umbrella sampling technique well known from equilibrium Monte Carlo to dynamical, non-equilibrium simulations. This method is used specifically to calculate the nucleation barrier of Brownian Yukawa particles in a homogeneous shear flow. 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملTheory of Adaptive Optimization for Umbrella Sampling
We present a theory of adaptive optimization for umbrella sampling. With the analytical bias force constant obtained from the constrained thermodynamic length along the reaction coordinate, the windows are distributed to optimize the overlap between neighbors. Combining with the replica exchange method, we propose a method of adaptive window exchange umbrella sampling. The efficiency gain in sa...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Adaptive Umbrella Sampling Method
(Received December, 1988) The adaptive umbrella sampling technique, introduced recently to improve the probability ratio method and found to perform more reliably then the customary harmonic umbrella sampling, is tested and compared with other free energy methods. One of the tests applies the method to a transition involving a chemical change: calculation of the hydration free energy difference...
متن کاملAnalysis of the statistical error in umbrella sampling simulations by umbrella integration.
Umbrella sampling simulations, or biased molecular dynamics, can be used to calculate the free-energy change of a chemical reaction. We investigate the sources of different sampling errors and derive approximate expressions for the statistical errors when using harmonic restraints and umbrella integration analysis. This leads to generally applicable rules for the choice of the bias potential an...
متن کاملUmbrella sampling
The calculation of free-energy differences is one of the main challenges in computational biology and biochemistry. Umbrella sampling, biased molecular dynamics (MD), is one of the methods that provide free energy along a reaction coordinate. Here, the method is derived in a historic overview and is compared with related methods like thermodynamic integration, slow growth, steered MD, or the Ja...
