Application of the integral invariant of Poincaré-Cartan to contact systems (Q2367567)

Applying the integral invariant of Poincaré-Cartan, the author shows how the Hamiltonian system, which is the symplectification of a contact system can be reduced to a new Hamiltonian system on 2-dimensional phase space so that all symplectic numerical algorithms, developed by Feng's research group, are available. The corresponding difference scheme of a special kind for time-dependent Hamiltonian systems and for the original contact systems are considered.
