A Note on Symplectic Algorithms

Computational Physics 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We present the symplectic algorithm in the Lagrangian formalism for the Hamiltonian systems by virtue of the noncommutative differential calculus with respect to the discrete time and the Euler--Lagrange cohomological concepts. We also show that the trapezoidal integrator is symplectic in certain sense.
