<P>Set weighting coefficients for pairwise energy and force contributions
from atom pairs that are also bonded to each other directly or
indirectly. For Lennard-Jones (LJ) and Coulombic pairwise
interactions, these coefficients come in sets of three. The 1st
coefficient is the weighting factor on 1-2 atom pairs, which are those
directly bonded to each other. The 2nd coefficient is the weighting
factor on 1-3 atom pairs which are those separated by 2 bonds
(e.g. the two H atoms in a water molecule). The 3rd coefficient is
the weighting factor on 1-4 atom pairs which are those separated by 3
bonds (e.g. the 1st and 4th atoms in a dihedral interaction). Thus if
the 1-2 coefficient is set to 0.0, then the pairwise interaction is
effectively turned off for all pairs of atoms bonded to each other.

weighting factors are used by all <A HREF = "pair_style.html">pair styles</A> in
LAMMPS that compute simple pairwise interactions. The Coulomb factors
are applied to any Coulomb (charge interaction) term that the
potential calculates. The LJ factors are applied to the remaining
terms that the potential calculates, whether they represent LJ
interactions or not. The weighting factors are a scaling pre-factor
on the energy and force between the pair of atoms. Permanent bonds
between atoms are specified by defining the bond topology in the data

using these pair styles, it makes no sense to define permanent bonds
and to specify special_bonds weighting factors (unless they are

this, using special_bonds with these potentials will result in errors
