# ATC: fix_modify AtC control localized_lambda

# fix_modify AtC control localized_lambda

## syntax

fix_modify AtC control localized_lambda <on|off>

## examples

`fix_modify atc control localized_lambda on`

## description

Turns on localization algorithms for control algorithms to restrict the influence of FE coupling or boundary conditions to a region near the boundary of the MD region. Control algorithms will not affect atoms in elements not possessing faces on the boundary of the region. Flux-based control is localized via row-sum lumping while quantity control is done by solving a truncated matrix equation.
