Testing Convergence of Different Free-Energy Methods in a Simple Analytical System with Hidden Barriers

In this work, we study the influence of hidden barriers on the convergence behavior of three free-energy calculation methods: well-tempered metadynamics (WTMD), adaptive-biasing forces (ABF), and on-the-fly parameterization (OTFP). We construct a simple two-dimensional potential-energy surfaces (PES...
