Base class for all potentials
Derived classes must overload getEnergy(). It is also highly recommended to overload getEnergyGradient(), otherwise gradients will be calculated numerically
getEnergyGradient()
Methods
| NumericalDerivative(coords[, eps]) | return the gradient calculated numerically |
| NumericalHessian(coords[, eps]) | return the Hessian matrix of second derivatives computed numerically |
| getEnergy(coords) | return the energy at the given coordinates |
| getEnergyGradient(coords) | return the energy and gradient at the given coordinates |
| getEnergyGradientHessian(coords) | return the energy, gradient, and Hessian at the given coordinates |
| getEnergyGradientNumerical(coords) | |
| getGradient(coords) | return the gradient at the given coordinates |
| getHessian(coords) | return the hessian |
| test_potential(coords[, eps]) | print some information testing whether the analytical gradients are correct |
