Please Note: I will propose two numerical approaches for minimizing the MFF. Approach I is good for high-dimensional systems and fixed endpoints. It is based on temperature relaxation strategy and Broyden's method. Approach II is good for low-dimensional systems and only one fixed endpoint. It is based on Sethian's Fast Marching Method.I will show the application of Approaches I and II to the problems of rearrangement of Lennard-Jones cluster of 38 atoms and of CO escape from the Myoglobin protein respectively.
Please Note: This talk should be non-technical except the last few slides. The talk is based on a work done in collaboration with Denis Charles, Max Chickering, Nikhil Devanur, and Manan Sanghi, all from Microsoft.
