Velocity Verlet algorithm
From SklogWiki
The Velocity Verlet algorithm, for use in molecular dynamics, is given by
\[r(t + \delta t) = r (t) + \delta t v(t) + \frac{1}{2} \delta t^2 a(t)\]
\[v \left(t+ \delta t\right) = v(t) + \frac{1}{2} \delta t [ a(t) + a(t+\delta t)]\]
where \(r\) is the position, \(v\) is the velocity, \(a\) is the acceleration and \(t\) is the time. \(\delta t\) is known as the time step.
