We describe conditions for the validity of these functions in periodic boundary systems and the molecularKeywords: Boundary conditions; Computer simulation; Kinetic energy; Molecular dynamics; Particles (particulate matter); Temperature measurement; Thermal effects; Thermodynamic temperature; Phase equilibria20002015-12-12
