Abstract: We prove that any symplectic matrix can be factored into no more than 5 unit triangular symplectic matrices, moreover, 5 is the optimal number. This result improves the existing triangular factorization of symplectic matrices which gives proof of 9 factors. We also show the corresponding improved conclusions for structured subsets of symplectic matrices. This factorization further provides an unconstrained optimization method on 2d-by-2d real symplectic group (a 2d2+d-dimensional Lie group) with 2d2+3d parameters.
