Re: [AMBER] TI with softcore at lambda=0 or 1?

Dear Dr. Thomas :
      Here is my TI result:
lambda dvdl
0.01 46.26
0.05 15.14
0.10 1.20
0.15 -11.11
0.20 -14.88
0.25 -13.20
0.30 -14.49
0.35 -13.81
0.40 -12.96
0.45 -5.11
0.50 -0.24
0.55 5.50
0.60 8.88
0.65 12.97
0.70 11.61
0.75 14.85
0.80 11.63
0.85 12.46
0.90 0.70
0.95 -22.85
0.99 -54.70

the dvdl curve near lambda 0 or 1 seems to be rather steep, far from
linear. Is it normal?

What reason may cause such result?

Best Regards!
