Abstract

The optimal creation of a reduced space that effectively captures the long timescale dynamics of a non-linear molecular system over a range of frequencies is described. The technique builds on a previously developed subspace method based on linear constant projective transformation of the original full space. The present work attempts to propose transformation that are spatially dependent thereby leading to an effective subspace for better representing the dynamics of interests. The algorithm seeks out an optimal transformation consistent with desired low frequency motion in a rather general way. The method is demonstrated for a six-dimensional nonlinear system reduced to two-dimensions. Superior performance is found in evaluating ensemble-averaged classical dynamical properties.
