It is well-known that if a symplectic integrator is applied to a Hamiltonian system, then the modified equation, whose solutions interpolate the numerical solutions, is again Hamiltonian. We investigate this property from the variational…

Classical Hamiltonian mechanics, characterized by a single conserved Hamiltonian (energy) and symplectic geometry, `hides' other invariants into symmetries of the Hamiltonian or into the kernel of the Poisson tensor. Nambu mechanics aims to…
We analyze the canonical treatment of classical constrained mechanical systems formulated with a discrete time. We prove that under very general conditions, it is possible to introduce nonsingular canonical transformations that preserve the…
