<p>Rc is the cutoff which does not include the delta distance. I.e. the
actual force cutoff is the sum of cutoff + delta.</p>
<p>The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
types via the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_coeff.html"><em>pair_coeff</em></a> command as in the examples
above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
<a class="reference internal" href="read_data.html"><em>read_data</em></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="read_restart.html"><em>read_restart</em></a>
commands, or by mixing as described below:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>epsilon (energy units)</li>
<li>sigma (distance units)</li>
<li>delta (distance units)</li>
<li>cutoff (distance units)</li>
</ul>
<p>The delta values can be positive or negative. The last coefficient is
optional. If not specified, the global LJ cutoff is used.</p>

<p>Styles with a <em>cuda</em>, <em>gpu</em>, <em>intel</em>, <em>kk</em>, <em>omp</em>, or <em>opt</em> suffix are
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 class="reference internal" href="Section_accelerate.html"><em>Section_accelerate</em></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 class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span>Making LAMMPS</span></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 class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-7"><span>-suffix command-line switch</span></a> when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the <a class="reference internal" href="suffix.html"><em>suffix</em></a> command in your input script.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference internal" href="Section_accelerate.html"><em>Section_accelerate</em></a> of the manual for
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.</p>
<p>For atom type pairs I,J and I != J, the epsilon, sigma, and shift
coefficients and cutoff distance for this pair style can be mixed.
Shift is always mixed via an <em>arithmetic</em> rule. The other
coefficients are mixed according to the pair_modify mix value. The
default mix value is <em>geometric</em>. See the “pair_modify” command for
details.</p>
<p>This pair style supports the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><em>pair_modify</em></a> shift
option for the energy of the pair interaction.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><em>pair_modify</em></a> table option is not relevant
for this pair style.</p>
<p>This pair style supports the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><em>pair_modify</em></a> tail
option for adding a long-range tail correction to the energy and
pressure of the pair interaction.</p>
<p>This pair style writes its information to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><em>binary restart files</em></a>, so pair_style and pair_coeff commands do not need
to be specified in an input script that reads a restart file.</p>
<p>This pair style can only be used via the <em>pair</em> keyword of the
<a class="reference internal" href="run_style.html"><em>run_style respa</em></a> command. It does not support the
