-''potfit'' supports two very different ways of defining a potential. Both ways use some parameters <math>\alpha_i\,</math> to define a potential, but they have very different meanings.

-There are tabulated potentials and [[Analytic_potentials|analytic potentials]]. The main differences are given in the table below.
+//potfit// supports different ways of defining atomic interactions. All of them use a set of parameters $\alpha_i$ to define a potential function. Depending on the particular implementation these parameters have very different meanings.
