where $h_n$ is the maximum displacement and $\ve{F}_n$ is the force,
or the negative gradient of the potential $V$. The notation $\max
-(|\ve{F}_n|)$ means the largest of the absolute values of the force
-components. The forces and energy are again computed for the new positions \\
+(|\ve{F}_n|)$ means the largest scalar force on any atom.
+The forces and energy are again computed for the new positions \\
If ($V_{n+1} < V_n$) the new positions are accepted and $h_{n+1} = 1.2
h_n$. \\
If ($V_{n+1} \geq V_n$) the new positions are rejected and $h_n = 0.2 h_n$.
