Time step

The time-step (often written as $\delta t$ ) is an important variable in molecular dynamics simulations. It is usually of the order of femto ( $10^{-15}$ ) seconds for simulations of flexible molecules.

RESPA

A well known multiple time step method is the reversible reference system propagator algorithm (RESPA) ^[2].
