Energy Drift in the Numerical Integration of Hamiltonian Problems
Issues 3-4 Volume 04Date of Online Publication: 02/11/2010 Keywords: Time reversal symmetry, Reversible Hamiltonian systems, Symmetric methods, Periodic orbits, Numerical drift. Authors: Pages: Abstract: When approximating reversible Hamiltonian problems, the presence of a “drift” in the numerical values of the Hamiltonian is sometimes experienced, even when reversible methods of integration are used. In this paper we analyze the […]
