Bezier curve string method for the study of rare events in complex chemical systems

We present a new string method for finding the most probable transition pathway and optimal reaction coordinate in complex chemical systems. Our approach evolves an analytic parametric curve, known as a Bezier curve, to the most probable transition path between metastable regions in configuration sp...
