Definition

The coordination number of central point A with respect to atoms of the group B using a switch function.

$\xi = \sum_{i=1}^{group_B} \left( 1 - 2 \left( \frac { d_{iA} } { d_{cut} } \right)^2 + \left( \frac {d_{iA}}{d_{cut}} \right)^4 \right)$ $d_{iA} = | \bold x_i - \bold A_{com} |$

PBC note: The minimum-image convention is apllied to distances d_iA if the fenable_pbc option is activated. The convention is not used to calculate the center of mass of the pont A. It is therefore required that atoms within a group are either covalently bound or are part of complex that will not be separated or reimaged during a simulation.
