void PLMD::Pbc::buildShifts ( std::vector< Vector >  shifts[2][2][2] ) const

private

Build list of shifts.

This is expensive, and must be called only when box is reset. It allows building a minimal set of shifts depending on the sign of the scaled coordinates representing a distance vector.

double PLMD::Pbc::distance	(	const bool	pbc,
		const Vector &	v1,
		const Vector &	v2
	)		const

Compute modulo of (v2-v1), using or not pbc depending on bool pbc.

Vector PLMD::Pbc::distance ( const Vector &  v1, const Vector &  v2  ) const

inline

Computes v2-v1, using minimal image convention.

Vector PLMD::Pbc::distance	(	const Vector &	v1,
		const Vector &	v2,
		int *	nshifts
	)		const

version of distance which also returns the number of attempted shifts

void PLMD::Pbc::fullSearch

(

Vector &

d

)

const

Full search (for testing).

Perform a full search on vector

const Tensor & PLMD::Pbc::getBox

(

)

const

Returns the box.

const Tensor & PLMD::Pbc::getInvBox

(

)

const

Returns the inverse matrix of box.

Thus: pbc.getInvBox() == inverse(pbc.getBox()).

bool PLMD::Pbc::isOrthorombic

(

)

const

Returns true if the box vectors are orthogonal.

Vector PLMD::Pbc::realToScaled

(

const Vector &

d

)

const

Transform a vector in real space to a vector in scaled coordinates.

Thus:pbc.realToScaled(v) == matmul(transpose(inverse(pbc.getBox(),v)));

Vector PLMD::Pbc::scaledToReal

(

const Vector &

d

)

const

Transform a vector in scaled coordinates to a vector in real space.

Thus:pbc.scaledToRead(v) == matmul(transpose(pbc.getBox()),v);

void PLMD::Pbc::setBox

(

const Tensor &

b

)

Set the lattice vectors.

b[i][j] is the j-th component of the i-th vector

void PLMD::Pbc::test ( )

static

Perform some check. Useful for debugging.

Member Data Documentation

Tensor PLMD::Pbc::box

private

Box.

Vector PLMD::Pbc::diag

private

Alternative representation for orthorombic cells.

Not really used, but could be used to optimize search in orthorombic cells.

Vector PLMD::Pbc::hdiag

private

Tensor PLMD::Pbc::invBox

private

Inverse box.

Tensor PLMD::Pbc::invReduced

private

Inverse of the reduced box.

Vector PLMD::Pbc::mdiag

private

Tensor PLMD::Pbc::reduced

private

Reduced box.

This is a set of lattice vectors generating the same lattice but "minimally skewed". Useful to optimize image search.

std::vector<Vector> PLMD::Pbc::shifts[2][2][2]

private

List of shifts that should be attempted.

Depending on the sign of the scaled coordinates representing a distance vector, a different set of shifts must be tried.

enum { ... } PLMD::Pbc::type

Type of box.
