Optimal Scheme to Achieve Energy Conservation in Induced Dipole Models

Abstract

Induced dipole models have proven to be effective tools for simulating electronic polarization effects in biochemical processes, yet their potential has been constrained by energy conservation issue, particularly when historical data is utilized for dipole prediction. This study identifies error outliers as the primary factor causing this failure of energy conservation and proposes a comprehensive scheme to overcome this limitation. Leveraging maximum relative errors as a convergence metric, our data demonstrates that energy conservation can be upheld even when using historical information for dipole predictions. Our study introduces the multi-order extrapolation method to quicken induction iteration and optimize the use of historical data, while also developing the preconditioned conjugate gradient with local iterations to refine the iteration process and effectively remove error outliers. This scheme further incorporates a "peek" step via Jacobi under-relaxation for optimal performance. Simulation evidence suggests that our proposed scheme can achieve energy convergence akin to that of point-charge models within a limited number of iterations, thus promising significant improvements in efficiency and accuracy.
