Symplectic integration methods based on operator splitting are well established in many branches of science. For Hamiltonian systems which split in more than two parts, symplectic methods of higher order have been studied in detail only for…

Symplectic integrators are a foundation to the study of dynamical $N$-body phenomena, at scales ranging from from planetary to cosmological. These integrators preserve the Poincar\'e invariants of Hamiltonian dynamics. The $N$-body…
