where the sum is over all neighboring pairs of lattice sites  and  (note that the neighbor range may be greater than one), and the boundary-energy coefficients are symmetric,
 .
In addition to boundary energy, most simulations include multiple constraints on cell behavior. The use of constraints to describe behaviors comes from the physics of classical mechanics. In the GGH context we write constraint energies in a general elastic form:
