When you do TI you are calculating the gradient of the (potential)
energy with respect to lambda. To obtain the free energy from this you
need to integrate this in [0,1]. The trapzoidal rule, just like the
Simpson's rule, are approximative techniques to compute an integral
from discrete data. Various mathematical software or programming
languages can do that.
