  • timestep (float) - Timestep used for integration
  • nsteps (int) - Number of integration steps to be performed in each iteration
  • mass_matrix (n-dimensional InvertibleMatrix with n being the dimension of the configuration space, that is, the dimension of the position / momentum vectors) - Mass matrix
  • integrator (type) - Subclass of AbstractIntegrator to be used for integrating Hamiltionian equations of motion
  • temperature (float) - See documentation of AbstractSingleChainMC
Overrides: object.__init__
