Hi,

I have run several ibi calculations to get single-bead cg models for 
differnt liquids (alkanes from hexane to docosane). While initial attempts 
were quite sucessful, I now have run into the following problem. First of 
all, none of my ibi calculations finished the number of iterations 
(iterations_max was set to 300 without a convergence check that would have 
ended the calculation earlier) I set, but all exited during the GROMACS 
simulation, apparently due to an "exploding system".  When I looked at the 
results of the iterations that did finish, I saw that the rdf of the system 
did quickly converge towards the target rdf (usually during the first 20-30 
iterations), but then started to diverge again.

I have added two plots from an ibi-run that crashed after 164 iterations. 
As can be seen, the sum of squared differences between the iteration rdf 
and the target rdf first quickly decreases (it reaches a minimum at 
iteration 38) but then increases again until the simulation crashes. The 
other plot shows a comparison of the target rdf, the best rdf and the one 
of the last iteration that finished simulating.

I'm using the development version of Votca (the calculations shown were 
performed on git commit dd7c19fc4fa8392294168e897a52d65ad6fdb7cf from Tue 
Apr 28 10:17:49 2015 -0600).

Any ideas ?

Regards,
Jan
