This paper describes a fourth-order integration algorithm for the gravitational N-body problem based on discrete Lagrangian mechanics. When used with shared timesteps, the algorithm is momentum conserving and symplectic. We generalize the…
The gravitational $N$-body problem, which is fundamentally important in astrophysics to predict the motion of $N$ celestial bodies under the mutual gravity of each other, is usually solved numerically because there is no known general…
We design an accurate orbital integration scheme for the general N-body problem preserving all the conserved quantities but the angular momentum.This scheme is based on the chain concept (Mikkola & Aarseth 1993) and is regarded as an…
In this note we approach the classical, Newtonian, gravitational $N$-body problem by mean of a new, original numerical integration method. After a short summary of the fundamental characteristics of the problem, including a sketch of some…
The conservation of energy, linear momentum and angular momentum are important drivers for our physical understanding of the evolution of the Universe. These quantities are also conserved in Newton's laws of motion under gravity…
In this paper, an implicit nonsymplectic exact energy-preserving integrator is specifically designed for a ten-dimensional phase-space conservative Hamiltonian system with five degrees of freedom. It is based on a suitable…
We consider an analytic way to make the interacting N-body problem tractable by using harmonic oscillators in place of the relevant two-body interactions. The two body terms of the N-body Hamiltonian are approximated by considering the…
Conservative symmetric second-order one-step schemes are derived for dynamical systems describing various many-body systems using the Discrete Multiplier Method. This includes conservative schemes for the $n$-species Lotka-Volterra system,…
To date, the second-order post-Newtonian (2PN) Hamiltonian has been known in closed analytic form only for systems of up to three point masses. In this paper, we present an analytic expression for the general $N$-body 2PN Hamiltonian in the…
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…
An accurate and efficient method dealing with the few-body dynamics is important for simulating collisional N-body systems like star clusters and to follow the formation and evolution of compact binaries. We describe such a method which…
In this paper an approach is outlined. With this approach some explicit algorithms can be applied to solve the initial value problem of $n-$dimensional damped oscillators. This approach is based upon following structure: for any…
$N$-body simulations study the dynamics of $N$ particles under the influence of mutual long-distant forces such as gravity. In practice, $N$-body codes will violate Newton's third law if they use either an approximate Poisson solver or…
We review the implementation of individual particle time-stepping for N-body dynamics. We present a class of integrators derived from second order Hamiltonian splitting. In contrast to the usual implementation of individual time-stepping,…
The classical n-body problem in d-dimensional space is invariant under the Galilean symmetry group. We reduce by this symmetry group using the method of polynomial invariants. As a result we obtain a reduced system with a Lie-Poisson…
Several completely integrable, indeed solvable, Hamiltonian many-body problems are exhibited, characterized by Newtonian equations of motion ("acceleration equal force"), with linear and cubic forces, in N-dimensional space (N being an…
We present a calculation of the conservative two-body Hamiltonian of a compact binary system including a spinning black hole. We include up-to third order corrections in Newton's constant $G$, all orders in velocity, and linear and…
A new approach to the construction of difference schemes of any order for the many-body problem that preserves all its algebraic integrals is proposed. We introduced additional variables, namely, distances and reciprocal distances between…
For Hamiltonian systems, simulation algorithms that exactly conserve numerical energy or pseudo-energy have seen extensive investigation. Most available methods either require the iterative solution of nonlinear algebraic equations at each…
In the present paper, using the first-order approximation of the $n$-body Lagrangian (derived on the basis of the post-Newtonian gravitational theory of Einstein, Infeld, and Hoffman), we explicitly write down the equations of motion for…
