I guess that you are missing that r2list[k] = r^2 + r2_delta, not r^2.
The FULL and SLOW macros only affect splitting for multiple timestepping,
which doesn't affect VDW forces at all.

The input of the parameter is surprisingly easy for me to understand and i didn't stuck long in this problem. But I feel confusion in how the interpolation method return the theoretical formula.
