The author investigates a new difference-algebraic method extending \textit{S. Maeda}'s Lagrangian formulation of discrete systems [Math. Jap. 27, 345-356 (1982; Zbl 0531.70020)] with good results for the Euler-Lagrange equation in one-spatial dimension. A discrete variational principle for symplectic schemes via a generation function is also reviewed. Some numerical examples via simple shooting and generalized Newton methods illustrate the good concordance of the discrete solutions with the continuous ones.
