where Umin, theta, and a are defined for each angle type.
</P>
<P>
The potential is bounded between [-Umin:0] and the minimum is
located at the angle theta0. The a parameter can be both positive or
negative and is used to control the spring constant at the
equilibrium.
</P>
<P>
The spring constant is given by k = A exp(A) Umin / [2 (Exp(a)-1)].
For a > 3, k/Umin = a/2 to better than 5% relative error. For negative
values of the a parameter, the spring constant is essentially zero,
and anharmonic terms takes over. The potential is furthermore well
behaved in the limit a -> 0, where it has been implemented to linear
order in a for a

functionally the same as the corresponding style without the suffix.
They have been optimized to run faster, depending on your available
hardware, as discussed in
<A
HREF =
"Section_accelerate.html"

Section_accelerate
</A>
of the manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and
should produce the same results, except for round-off and precision
issues.
</P>
<P>
These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA, GPU, USER-INTEL,
KOKKOS, USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only
enabled if LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the
<A
HREF =
"Section_start.html#start_3"
>
Making
LAMMPS
</A>
section for more info.
</P>
<P>
You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
by including their suffix, or you can use the
<A
HREF =
"Section_start.html#start_7"
>
-suffix command-line
switch
</A>
when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the
<A

suffix
</A>
command in your input script.
</P>
<P>
See
<A
HREF =
"Section_accelerate.html"

of the manual for
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.

This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
USER-MISC package. See the
