A counterexample showing the semi-explicit Lie-Newmark algorithm is not variational

چکیده
This paper presents a counterexample to the conjecture that the semi-explicit Lie-Newmark algorithm is variational. As a consequence the Lie-Newmark method is not well-suited for long-time simulation of rigid body-type mechanical systems. The counterexample consists of a rigid body in a static potential field.

Variational integrators, the Newmark scheme, and dissipative systems
Variational methods are a class of symplectic-momentum integrators for ODEs. Using these schemes, it is shown that the classical Newmark algorithm is structure preserving in a non-obvious way, thus explaining the observed numerical behavior. Modifications to variational methods to include forcing and dissipation are also proposed, extending the advantages of structure preserving integrators to ...
متن کاملVariational and linearly implicit integrators, with applications
We show that symplectic and linearly implicit integrators proposed by Zhang & Skeel (1997, Cheap implicit symplectic integrators. Appl. Numer. Math., 25, 297–302) are variational linearizations of Newmark methods. When used in conjunction with penalty methods (i.e., methods that replace constraints by stiff potentials), these integrators permit coarse time-stepping of holonomically constrained ...
متن کاملVariational time integrators
The purpose of this paper is to review and further develop the subject of variational integration algorithms as it applies to mechanical systems of engineering interest. In particular, the conservation properties of both synchronous and asynchronous variational integrators (AVIs) are discussed in detail. We present selected numerical examples which demonstrate the excellent accuracy, conservati...
متن کاملVariational integrators and the Newmark algorithm for conservative and dissipative mechanical systems
The purpose of this work is twofold. First, we demonstrate analytically that the classical Newmark family as well as related integration algorithms are variational in the sense of the Veselov formulation of discrete mechanics. Such variational algorithms are well known to be symplectic and momentum preserving and to often have excellent global energy behaviour. This analytical result is veri ed...
متن کاملLie symmetry Analysis and Explicit Exact Dolutions of the Time Fractional Drinfeld-Sokolov-Wilson (DSW) System
In this study coupled system of nonlinear time fractional Drinfeld-Sokolov-Wilson equations, which describes the propagation of anomalous shallow water waves is investigated. The Lie symmetry analysis is performed on the model. Employing the suitable similarity transformations, the governing model is similarity reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with Erdelyi-Kober ...
