Abstract

By exploiting the error functions of explicit symplectic integrators for solving separable Hamiltonians, I show that it is possible to develop explicit, time-reversible symplectic integrators for solving non-separable Hamiltonians of the product form. The algorithms are unusual in that they of fractional order.
