A symplectic integrator for molecular dynamics on a hypersphere

We present a reversible and symplectic algorithm called ROLL, for integrating the equations of motion in molecular dynamics simulations of simple fluids on a hypersphere Sd of arbitrary dimension d. It is derived in the framework of geometric algebra and shown to be mathematically equivalent to algo...
