This definition differs from the old ones in that it is given via the one step method defined directly on M which is corresponding to the m step scheme defined on M while the old definitions are given out by defining a corresponding one step method on M × M ×…× M = Mm with a set of new variables.

文摘In this paper, we propose a new definition of symplectic multistep methods. This definition differs from the old ones in that it is given via the one step method defined directly on M which is corresponding to the m step scheme defined on M while the old definitions are given out by defining a corresponding one step method on M × M ×…× M = Mm with a set of new variables. The new definition gives out a steptransition operator g: M → M. Under our new definition, the Leap-frog method is symplectic only for linear Hamiltonian systems. The transition operator g will be constructed via continued fractions and rational approximations.
