Measure-preserving and time-reversible integration algorithms for constant temperature molecular dynamics.

This thesis concerns the formulation of integration algorithms for non-Hamiltonian molecular dynamics simulation at constant temperature. In particular, the constant temperature dynamics of the Nosé-Hoover, Nosé-Hoover chain, and Bulgac-Kusnezov thermostats are studied. In all cases, the equilibrium...
