Detailed Description

Pairwise kernel base class.

Pairwise functions are useful for a variety of collective variables. Several classes of these functions exist.

Gaussian functions are useful for collective variables that focus on a certain value. Unlike a delta function, they interpolate provide a continuous function and gradient for biasing.

Switching functions are useful for collective variables that are discrete in nature. They interpolate the discrete values and provide a continuous gradient for biasing.
