      A changing-chart symplectic algorithm for rigid bodies and other Hamiltonian systems on manifolds (English)
      0 references
      The authors make use of the idea of constructing symplectic integrators for Hamiltonian flows on manifolds by covering the manifold with charts of an atlas, implementing the algorithm in each chart and switching among the charts whenever a coordinate singularity is approached. They use the method in solving two specific problems.
