An algorithm is proposed to calculate the minimum energy path (MEP). The algorithm is based on a variational formulation in which the MEP is characterized as the curve minimizing a certain functional. The algorithm performs this minimization using a preconditioned steepest-descent scheme with a reparametrization step to enforce a constraint on the curve parametrization.
