In this paper, a new procedure for deriving efficient symplectic integrators for Hamiltonian problems is introduced. This procedure is based on the combination of the trigonometric fitting technique and symplecticness conditions. Based on this procedure, a simple modified Runge–Kutta–Nyström second algebraic order trigonometrically fitted method is developed. We present explicity the symplecticity conditions for the new modified Runge–Kutta–Nyström method. Numerical results indicate that the new method is much more efficient than the "classical" symplectic Runge–Kutta–Nyström second algebraic order method introduced in Ref. 1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
