An exact expression to calculate the derivatives of position-dependent observables in molecular simulations with flexible constraints.

In this work, we introduce an algorithm to compute the derivatives of physical observables along the constrained subspace when flexible constraints are imposed on the system (i.e., constraints in which the constrained coordinates are fixed to configuration-dependent values). The presented scheme is...
