Symplectic Map

StarStarStarStar

A transformation on a symplectic manifold that preserves the symplectic form and hence the structure of the manifold.

StarStarStarStar

Lie Integrator

StarStarStarStar

A method for integrating dynamical systems that relies on the Lie series expansion and reordering of operator exponentials.

StarStarStarStar

Symplectic Manifold

StarStarStarStar

A smooth manifold equipped with a closed non-degenerate differential 2-form known as the symplectic form.

StarStarStarStar

Hamiltonian System

StarStarStarStar

A dynamical system governed by Hamilton's equations, expressed in terms of coordinates and conjugate momenta.

StarStarStarStar

Leapfrog Integration

StarStarStarStar

A symplectic integrator method that updates positions and momenta in a staggered fashion.

StarStarStarStar

Verlet Integration

StarStarStarStar

A numerical method for solving Newton's equations of motion that is symplectic and time-reversible.

StarStarStarStar

Poisson Bracket

StarStarStarStar

A measure of the directional derivative of one function along the Hamiltonian flow of another function within Hamiltonian dynamics.

StarStarStarStar

Canonical Transformation

StarStarStarStar

A change of coordinates in phase space that preserves the form of Hamilton's equations and is defined by a generating function.

StarStarStarStar

Symplectic Integrator

StarStarStarStar

A numerical method used to integrate Hamiltonian systems that preserves the symplectic structure of phase space.

StarStarStarStar

Runge-Kutta Method

StarStarStarStar

A non-symplectic, widely-used family of iterative methods for solving differential equations.
