Taylor Variational Integrators

چکیده
A brief introduction to discrete variational mechanics, motivated by the goal of constructing symplectic onestep methods, will be presented. Followed by the presentation of a new type of variational integrator that utilizes Taylor’s method in it’s construction. Time permitting, we will make some remarks on the pros/cons and stability of constructing the variational integrator from the Lagrangian variational framework versus the Hamiltonian variational framework.

Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Taylor variational integrators
In this paper, we present a variational integrator that is based on an approximation of the Euler–Lagrange boundary-value problem via Taylor’s method. This can be viewed as a special case of the shooting-based variational integrator. The Taylor variational integrator exploits the structure of the Taylor method, which results in a shooting method that is one order higher compared to other shooti...

Abstract. We introduce generalized Galerkin variational integrators, which are a natural generalization of discrete variational mechanics, whereby the discrete action, as opposed to the discrete Lagrangian, is the fundamental object. This is achieved by approximating the action integral with appropriate choices of a finite-dimensional function space that approximate sections of the configuratio...
متن کاملSpectral-collocation variational integrators
Spectral methods are a popular choice for constructing numerical approximations for smooth problems, as they can achieve geometric rates of convergence and have a relatively small memory footprint. In this paper, we introduce a general framework to convert a spectral-collocation method into a shootingbased variational integrator for Hamiltonian systems. We also compare the proposed spectral-col...

متن کاملLagrangian mechanics and variational integrators on two-spheres
Euler–Lagrange equations and variational integrators are developed for Lagrangian mechanical systems evolving on a product of two-spheres. The geometric structure of a product of two-spheres is carefully considered in order to obtain global equations of motion. Both continuous equations of motion and variational integrators completely avoid the singularities and complexities introduced by local...
