Alexia A1 - Fackeldey, Konstantin A1 - Weber, Marcus T1 - Qualitative Euclidean embedding of Disjoint Sets of Points N2 - We consider two disjoint sets of points with a distance metric, or a proximity function, associated with each set. If each set can be separately embedded into separate Euclidean spaces, then we provide sufficient conditions for the two sets to be jointly embedded in one Euclidean space. In this joint Euclidean embedding, the distances between the points are generated by a specific relation-preserving function. Consequently, the mutual distances between two points of the same set are specific qualitative transformations of their mutual distances in their original space; the pairwise distances between the points of different sets can be constructed from an arbitrary proximity function (might require scaling).

ER - TY - GEN A1 - Nielsen, Adam A1 - Fackeldey, Konstantin A1 - Weber, Marcus T1 - On a Generalized Transfer Operator N2 - We introduce a generalized operator for arbitrary stochastic processes by using a pre-kernel, which is a generalization of the Markov kernel. For deterministic processes, such an operator is already known as the Frobenius-Perron operator, which is defined for a large class of measures. For Markov processes, there exists transfer operators being only well defined for stationary measures in $L^2$. Our novel generalized transfer operator is well defined for arbitrary stochastic processes, in particular also for deterministic ones. We can show that this operator is acting on $L^1$. For stationary measures, this operator is also an endomorphism of $L^2$ and, therefore, allows for a mathematical analysis in Hilbert spaces.

As a matter of fact, the efficient and scalable implementation of concurrent multiscale methods on clusters and supercomputers is a complicated endeavor. In this article we present the parallel multiscale simulation tool MACI which has been designed for efficient coupling between molecular dynamics and finite element codes. We propose a specification for a thin yet versatile interface for the coupling of molecular dynamics and finite element codes in a modular fashion. Further we discuss the parallelization strategy pursued in MACI, in particular, focusing on the parallel assembly of transfer operators and their efficient execution.

Here in this review, we provide an overview of the progress that has been made in virtual screening methodology and technology on multiple fronts in recent years. The advent of ultra-large virtual screens, in which hundreds of millions to billions of compounds are screened, has proven to be a powerful approach to discover highly potent hit compounds. However, these developments are just the tip of the iceberg, with new technologies and methods emerging to propel the field forward. Examples include novel machine-learning approaches, which can reduce the computational costs of virtual screening dramatically, while progress in quantum-mechanical approaches can increase the accuracy of predictions of various small molecule properties.

Correction terms for potential energy, force and virial are derived for the monatomic Lennard–Jones fluid. The method is generalised to the Mie potential and arbitrary molecular structures, employing a numerically efficient centre of mass cut-off scheme. The results are validated by a series of droplet simulations for one-centre and two-centre Lennard–Jones fluids with different cut-off radii rc. Systems with rc=8σ provide a check of self-consistence. Further, a system containing a bubble is investigated for the one-centre Lennard–Jones fluid. The equilibrium properties are almost completely independent on the cut-off radius. In comparison with vapour–liquid equilibrium data for systems without a curved interface, all properties show the expected behaviour. Simulation data are used to approximate the surface tension, which is in good agreement with the findings for planar interfaces, thus verifying the present corrections.

We propose a method to break the curse by a novel square root approximation of transition rates, Monte Carlo quadrature and a discretization approach based on solving linear programs. With randomly sampled points on the molecular energy landscape and randomly generated discretizations of the molecular configuration space as our initial data, we construct a matrix describing the transition rates between adjacent discretization regions. This transition rate matrix yields a Markov State Model of the molecular dynamics. We use Perron cluster analysis and coarse-graining techniques in order to identify metastable sets in configuration space and approximate the transition rates between the metastable sets. Application of our method to a simple energy landscape on a two-dimensional configuration space provides proof of concept and an example for which we compare the performance of different discretizations. We show that the computational cost of our method grows only polynomially with the size of the molecule. However, finding discretizations of higher-dimensional configuration spaces in which metastable sets can be identified remains a challenge.
