Re: How Does VTST Define Saddle Point When There Are Multiple Saddle Points

Hi Prof. Henkelman,

If I understand correctly, when there are multiple local peaks in the path, CI-NEB will only identify one peak with the highest initial energy and climb that image. I think this is reasonable, as image with highest initial energy can be assumed to be the most close to the actual ...

How Does VTST Define Saddle Point When There Are Multiple Saddle Points

Dear developer,

I would like to ask how the VTST would try to get to convergence when there are multiple saddle points in a NEB path. For example, a path can have a "M" shape, which has two maximum energy points and one local minimum energy point. Learning from the website documentations, I know ...
