THE USE OF CONTROL QUANTITIES IN COMPUTER-SIMULATION EXPERIMENTS - APPLICATION TO THE EXP-6 POTENTIAL FLUID

Important quantities, which should be computed in the course of comput er experiments in order to maintain the control over the development o f the studied system, are summarized and their properties are discusse d. The usefulness of these quantities is demonstrated by reference to published data for the exp-6 potential model. The ease with which it i s possible to confuse solid and liquid states is illustrated.
