Opis

This self-contained book explains the numerical solution of differential equations within the framework of geometric integration, a branch of numerical analysis that devises numerical methods able to reproduce (in the discrete solution) relevant geometric properties of the continuous vector field. The book focuses on a large set of differential systems named conservative problems, particularly Hamiltonian systems. It covers the energy-conserving Runge–Kutta methods and discusses generalizations of them. MATLAB^® codes for implementing the methods are available online.
