Violation of the virial theorem and generalized equipartition theorem for logarithmic oscillators serving as a thermostat

Abstract A logarithmic oscillator has been proposed to serve as a thermostat recently since it has a peculiar property of infinite heat capacity according to the virial theorem. In order to examine its feasibility in numerical simulations, a modified logarithmic potential has been applied in previou...
