We introduce a new class of integrators for stiff ODEs as well as SDEs. These integrators are (i) {\it Multiscale}: they are based on flow averaging and so do not fully resolve the fast variables and have a computational cost determined by…
Geometric integrators for nonholonomic systems were introduced by Cort\'es and Mart\'inez in [Nonholonomic integrators, Nonlinearity, 14, 2001] by proposing a discrete Lagrange-D'Alembert principle. Their approach is based on the definition…
