Poisson integrators for Volterra lattice equations (Q2495438): Difference between revisions

This paper deals with the solution of Volterra lattice equations. It is shown that the symplectic Euler method preserves the quadratic Poisson structure of the periodic Volterra lattice. Modified equations are derived for the symplectic Euler and second order Lobatto IIIA-B method. Numerical results confirm long-term preservation of the Hamiltonian, Casimirs and the first integrals.
