We study how inexact nonlinear solvers lead to a loss of exact symplecticity in the Symplectic Euler (SE) and Stormer-Verlet (SV) schemes when applied to general nonseparable Hamiltonian systems. These schemes are implicit and require…
The Lyapunov exponents of a chaotic system quantify the exponential divergence of initially nearby trajectories. For Hamiltonian systems the exponents are related to the eigenvalues of a symplectic matrix. We make use of this fact to…
We develop Lie-Poisson integrators for general Hamiltonian systems on $\mathbf{R}^{3}$ equipped with the rigid body bracket. The method uses symplectic realisation of $\mathbf{R}^{3}$ on $T^{*}\mathbf{R}^{2}$ and application of symplectic…
The splitting of $\e^{h(A+B)}$ into a single product of $\e^{h A}$ and $\e^{hB}$ results in symplectic integrators when $A$ and $B$ are classical Lie operators. However, at high orders, a single product splitting, with exponentially growing…
We present a symplectic integrator, based on the canonical midpoint rule, for classical spin systems in which each spin is a unit vector in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Unlike splitting methods, it is defined for all Hamiltonians, and is…

Symplectic integration algorithms have become popular in recent years in long-term orbital integrations because these algorithms enforce certain conservation laws that are intrinsic to Hamiltonian systems. For problems with large variations…
Time-reversible symplectic methods, which are precisely compatible with Liouville's phase-volume-conservation theorem, are often recommended for computational simulations of Hamiltonian mechanics. Lack of energy drift is an apparent…
A new family of methods involving complex coefficients for the numerical integration of differential equations is presented and analyzed. They are constructed as linear combinations of symmetric-conjugate compositions obtained from a basic…
We take into account the dynamics of three types of models of rotating galaxies in polar coordinates in a rotating frame. Due to non-axisymmetric potential perturbations, the angular momentum varies with time, and the kinetic energy depends…
The purpose of this note is to point out that a naive application of symplectic integration schemes for Hamiltonian systems with constraints such as SHAKE or RATTLE which preserve holonomic constraints encounters difficulties when applied…
Long-term stability studies of nonlinear Hamiltonian systems require symplectic integration algorithms which are both fast and accurate. In this paper, we study a symplectic integration method wherein the symplectic map representing the…
Symmetric elliptic integrals, which have been used as replacements for Legendre's integrals in recent integral tables and computer codes, are homogeneous functions of three or four variables. When some of the variables are much larger than…
Symplectic integrators can be excellent for Hamiltonian initial value problems. Reasons for this include their preservation of invariant sets like tori, good energy behaviour, nonexistence of attractors, and good behaviour of statistical…
