- The Newton–Raphson method for finding the stationary point(s) Rsp of a potential energy surface V is based on a Taylor-series expansion around a guess, R0. Similarly, the velocity Verlet algorithm for integrating molecular dynamics trajectories [xt, vt] is based on a Taylor-series expansion around the initial conditions, [x0, v0].
