where phi is the improper dihedral angle.

If the 4 atoms in an improper quadruplet (listed in the data file read
by the
<A
HREF =
"read_data.html"
>
read_data
</A>
command) are ordered I,J,K,L then
the improper dihedral angle is between the plane of I,J,K and the
plane of J,K,L. Note that because this is effectively a dihedral
angle, the formula for this improper style is the same as for
<A
HREF =
"dihedral_harmonic.html"
>
dihedral_style harmonic
</A>
.
</P>
<P>
Note that defining 4 atoms to interact in this way, does not mean that
bonds necessarily exist between I-J, J-K, or K-L, as they would in a
linear dihedral. Normally, the bonds I-J, I-K, I-L would exist for an
improper to be defined between the 4 atoms.

<P>
The following coefficients must be defined for each improper type via
the

above, or in the data file or restart files read by the

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
HREF =

suffix
</A>
command in your input script.
</P>
<P>
See
<A
HREF =
"Section_accelerate.html"
>
Section_accelerate
</A>
of the manual for
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.

Restrictions:

</P>
<P>
This improper style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
MOLECULE package (which it is by default). See the
<A
HREF =
"Section_start.html#start_3"
>
Making
LAMMPS

section for more info on packages.
