The dynamic equation of mass point in rotating coordinates is governed by Coriolis and centrifugal force, besides a corotating potential relative to frame. Such a system is no longer a canonical Hamiltonian system so that the construction…

Symplectic integration algorithms are well-suited for long-term integrations of Hamiltonian systems because they preserve the geometric structure of the Hamiltonian flow. However, this desirable property is generally lost when adaptive…

Dependable numerical results from long-time simulations require stable numerical integration schemes. For Hamiltonian systems, this is achieved with symplectic integrators, which conserve the symplectic condition and exactly solve for the…
