We expand on the previously published Gr{o}nbech-Jensen Farago (GJF) thermostat, which is a thermodynamically sound variation on the St{o}rmer-Verlet algorithm for simulating discrete-time Langevin equations. The GJF method has been demonstrated to give robust and accurate configurational sampling of the phase space, and its applications to, e.g., Molecular Dynamics is well established. A new definition of the discrete-time velocity variable is proposed based on analytical calculations of the kinetic response of a harmonic oscillator subjected to friction and noise. The new companion velocity to the GJF method is demonstrated to yield correct and time-step-independent kinetic responses for, e.g., kinetic energy, its fluctuations, and Green-Kubo diffusion based on velocity autocorrelations. This observation allows for a new and convenient Leap-Frog algorithm, which efficiently and precisely represents statistical measures of both kinetic and configurational properties at any time step within the stability limit for the harmonic oscillator. We outline the simplicity of the algorithm and demonstrate its attractive time-step-independent features for nonlinear and complex systems through applications to a one-dimensional nonlinear oscillator and three-dimensional Molecular Dynamics.

In light of the recently published complete set of statistically correct GJ methods for discrete-time thermodynamics, we revise the differential operator splitting method for the Langevin equation in order to comply with the basic GJ thermodynamic sa
mpling features, namely the Boltzmann distribution and Einstein diffusion, in linear systems. This revision, which is based on the introduction of time scaling along with flexibility of a discrete-time velocity attenuation parameter, provides a direct link between the ABO splitting formalism and the GJ methods. This link brings about the conclusion that any GJ method has at least weak second order accuracy in the applied time step. It further helps identify a novel half-step velocity, which simultaneously produces both correct kinetic statistics and correct transport measures for any of the statistically sound GJ methods. Explicit algorithmic expressions are given for the integration of the new half-step velocity into the GJ set of methods. Numerical simulations, including quantum-based molecular dynamics (QMD) using the QMD suite LATTE, highlight the discussed properties of the algorithms as well as exhibit the direct application of robust, time step independent stochastic integrators to quantum-based molecular dynamics.
We show how to derive a simple integrator for the Langevin equation and illustrate how it is possible to check the accuracy of the obtained distribution on the fly, using the concept of effective energy introduced in a recent paper [J. Chem. Phys. 12
6, 014101 (2007)]. Our integrator leads to correct sampling also in the difficult high-friction limit. We also show how these ideas can be applied in practical simulations, using a Lennard-Jones crystal as a paradigmatic case.
When simulating molecular systems using deterministic equations of motion (e.g., Newtonian dynamics), such equations are generally numerically integrated according to a well-developed set of algorithms that share commonly agreed-upon desirable proper
ties. However, for stochastic equations of motion (e.g., Langevin dynamics), there is still broad disagreement over which integration algorithms are most appropriate. While multiple desiderata have been proposed throughout the literature, consensus on which criteria are important is absent, and no published integration scheme satisfies all desiderata simultaneously. Additional nontrivial complications stem from simulating systems driven out of equilibrium using existing stochastic integration schemes in conjunction with recently-developed nonequilibrium fluctuation theorems. Here, we examine a family of discrete time integration schemes for Langevin dynamics, assessing how each member satisfies a variety of desiderata that have been enumerated in prior efforts to construct suitable Langevin integrators. We show that the incorporation of a novel time step rescaling in the deterministic updates of position and velocity can correct a number of dynamical defects in these integrators. Finally, we identify a particular splitting that has essentially universally appropriate properties for the simulation of Langevin dynamics for molecular systems in equilibrium, nonequilibrium, and path sampling contexts.
We implement the statistically sound G-JF thermostat for Langevin Dynamics simulations into the ESPREesSo molecular package for large-scale simulations of soft matter systems. The implemented integration method is tested against the integrator curren
tly used by the molecular package in simulations of a fluid bilayer membrane. While the latter exhibits deviations in the sampling statistics that increase with the integration time step dt, the former reproduces near-correct configurational statistics for all dt within the stability range of the simulations. We conclude that, with very modest revisions to existing codes, one can significantly improve the performance of statistical sampling using Langevin thermostats.
A novel formulation of fluid dynamics as a kinetic theory with tailored, on-demand constructed particles removes any restrictions on Mach number and temperature as compared to its predecessors, the lattice Boltzmann methods and their modifications. I
n the new kinetic theory, discrete particles are determined by a rigorous limit process which avoids ad hoc assumptions about their velocities. Classical benchmarks for incompressible and compressible flows demonstrate that the proposed discrete-particles kinetic theory opens up an unprecedented wide domain of applications for computational fluid dynamics.
