Hi All,

This is a relatively naive question.

In the ABF method, dA/dXi is equal to the negative average force at
bin Xi. If the abf ensures that the average force in every bin
ultimately reaches zero, wouldn't the pmf converge to a horizontal
line? Or does the accumulation of forces in a particular bin exclude
the abf?

Thanks in advance!
Jason
