Now looking at (1) again, we can see:  $$\vec{x}(t + \Delta t) = \vec{x}(t) + \vec{v}(t) \Delta t + \frac{1}{2} \vec{a}(t) \Delta t^2$$  $$\vec{x}(t + \Delta t) - \vec{x}(t) = \vec{v}(t) \Delta t + \frac{1}{2} \vec{a}(t) \Delta t^2$$ Which means that basic Verlet and Velocity Verlet are indeed equivalent.
