Numerical methods for Hamiltonian systems including symplectic integrators (65P10) Discretization methods and integrators (symplectic, variational, geometric, etc.) for dynamical systems (37M15)

Abstract: It is well-known that if a symplectic integrator is applied to a Hamiltonian system, then the modified equation, whose solutions interpolate the numerical solutions, is again Hamiltonian. We investigate this property from the variational side. We present a technique to construct a Lagrangian for the modified equation from the discrete Lagrangian of a variational integrator.
