Since they were introduced in the 1990s, Lie group integrators have become a method of choice in many application areas. These include multibody dynamics, shape analysis, data science, image registration and biophysical simulations. Two…
This paper studies the construction of geometric integrators for nonholonomic systems. We derive the nonholonomic discrete Euler-Lagrange equations in a setting which permits to deduce geometric integrators for continuous nonholonomic…
In this paper, high-order numerical integrators on homogeneous spaces will be presented as an application of nonholonomic partitioned Runge-Kutta Munthe-Kaas (RKMK) methods on Lie groups. A homogeneous space $M$ is a manifold where a group…
In this paper we construct higher-order variational integrators for a class of degenerate systems described by Lagrangians that are linear in velocities. We analyze the geometry underlying such systems and develop the appropriate theory for…
Retraction maps are known to be the seed for all numerical integrators. These retraction maps-based integrators can be further lifted to tangent and cotangent bundles, giving rise to structure-preserving integrators for mechanical systems.…
In this article, a unified approach to obtain symplectic integrators on T*G from Lie group integrators on a Lie group G is presented. The approach is worked out in detail for symplectic integrators based on Runge--Kutta--Munthe-Kaas methods…
A Lie system is a non-autonomous system of first-order ordinary differential equations whose general solution can be written via an autonomous function, a so-called (nonlinear) superposition rule of a finite number of particular solutions…
In this paper, we study symmetric integrators for solving second-order ordinary differential equations on the basis of the notion of continuous-stage Runge-Kutta-Nystrom methods. The construction of such methods heavily relies on the…
We give a short and elementary introduction to Lie group methods. A selection of applications of Lie group integrators are discussed. Finally, a family of symplectic integrators on cotangent bundles of Lie groups is presented and the notion…
Classical mathematical techniques such as discrete integration, gradient descent optimization, and state estimation (exemplified by the Runge-Kutta method, Gauss-Newton minimization, and extended Kalman filter or EKF, respectively), rely on…
In this paper structure-preserving time-integrators for rigid body-type mechanical systems are derived from a discrete Hamilton-Pontryagin variational principle. From this principle one can derive a novel class of variational partitioned…
A new format for commutator-free Lie group methods is proposed based on explicit classical Runge-Kutta schemes. In this format exponentials are reused at every stage and the storage is required only for two quantities: the right hand side…
Differential equations posed on quadratic matrix Lie groups arise in the context of classical mechanics and quantum dynamical systems. Lie group numerical integrators preserve the constants of motions defining the Lie group. Thus, they…
This paper develops a structure-preserving numerical integration scheme for a class of higher-order mechanical systems. The dynamics of these systems are governed by invariant variational principles defined on higher-order tangent bundles…
We develop the equations of motion for full body models that describe the dynamics of rigid bodies, acting under their mutual gravity. The equations are derived using a variational approach where variations are defined on the Lie group of…
We present the Euler--Langrage equations for a many-body system of coupled planar pendulums. Hence, imposing initial condition data, the equations of motion are linearized and later developed in an idealized model for the pseudo-periodicity…
The smoothing procedure known as the gradient flow that suppresses ultraviolet fluctuations of gauge fields plays an important role in lattice gauge theory calculations. In particular, this procedure is often used for high-precision scale…
In this paper, we propose a geometric integrator for nonholonomic mechanical systems. It can be applied to discrete Lagrangian systems specified through a discrete Lagrangian defined on QxQ, where Q is the configuration manifold, and a…
Computer simulations in QCD are based on the discretization of the theory on a Euclidean lattice. To compute the mean value of an observable, usually the Hybrid Monte Carlo method is applied. Here equations of motion, derived from an…
We describe a variational framework for non-commuting flows, extending the theories of Lagrangian multiforms and pluri-Lagrangian systems, which have gained prominence in recent years as a variational description of integrable systems in…
