<strong>Free</strong>-<strong>energy</strong> perturbation <strong>calculations</strong> Improving the efficiency of FEP <strong>calculations</strong><br />
It requires that one forward and one backward calculation<br />
be performed at every intermediate state.<br />
Additional intermediate does not have to be located at<br />
λi + ∆λ/2, but, instead, may be chosen at any value<br />
comprised between λi and λi + ∆λ.<br />
Ideally, the location of the intermediate should be found<br />
to minimize the statistical error of ∆Ai,i+1. 39<br />
