Dangers of Multiple - Time - Step Methods ∗ Jeffrey

چکیده
In this work we demonstrate two potential dangers of multiple-time-step techniques for numerical integration of differential equations. This idea of using different time steps for different interactions was proposed in 1978 for molecular dynamics but undoubtedly has other useful applications. The use of multiple time stepping with the popular Verlet method was proposed in a 1991 paper. However, the method advocated in this paper does not retain the symplectic (or canonical) property of the Verlet method, which is an abstract property satisfied by the flow of any Hamiltonian system, of which molecular dynamics is an example. Recent work reported in the literature suggests that this property is important for the long-time integration of Hamiltonian dynamical systems. We perform experiments on linear and nonlinear problems comparing symplectic and nonsymplectic multiple-timestepping extensions of the Verlet method. We observe that in the nonsymplectic case either instability or dissipation becomes evident after a long integration. However, our experiments also indicate that it is quite possible to obtain an artificial “resonance” for the symplectic method that is much worse than that for the nonsymplectic methods.

OPTIMUM GENERALIZED COMPOUND LINEAR PLAN FOR MULTIPLE-STEP STEP-STRESS ACCELERATED LIFE TESTS
In this paper, we consider an i.e., multiple step-stress accelerated life testing (ALT) experiment with unequal duration of time . It is assumed that the time to failure of a product follows Rayleigh distribution with a log-linear relationship between stress and lifetime and also we assume a generalized Khamis-Higgins model for the effect of changing stress levels. Taking into account that the...
متن کاملMultivariate Jeffrey Fluid Flow past a Vertical Plate through Porous Medium
An analysis is suggested to study the impact of Hall currents in Jeffrey fluid which is chemically reactive through a porous medium limited by a semi-infinite vertical permeable plate within the existence of heat generation. An evenly distributed magnetic field turns vertically on the porous surface which absorbs the Jeffrey fluid with a changed suction velocity with time. The analytical expres...
