Hi all,

I can not understand why it is required to take same values for  both r_list 
and r_coulomb parameters when using PME for calculation of electrostatic 
interactions?

I read archieve, and gromacs manual. In archieve, similar question had been 
posted, but not replied yet.

Thanks in advance

if rlist < rcoulomb you will have a twin range interaction, meaning the atom pair interactions for distance between these two will be computed every nstlist steps only, while the interaction beyond rcoulomb will be computed at each time step. this will lead to bad energy conservation, since the force is not the derivative of the potential.
