that difference may be smaller than machine epsilon even if atoms

The choice of a norm can be modified for the min styles {fire}, 
{quickmin}, {sd}, {spin}, {spin_oso_cg} and {spin_oso_lbfgs} 
using the {norm} keyword.
The default {euclidean} norm computes the 2-norm (length) of the
global force vector. The {max} norm computes the maximum value
of the 2-norms of all forces in the system.  


Keywords {alpha_damp} and {discrete_factor} only make sense when
a "min_spin"_min_spin.html command is declared. 
Keyword {alpha_damp} defines an analog of a magnetic Gilbert
