Structure-Preserving Integrators. Symplectic, energy-preserving, and Lie-group integrators.

Foundations and canonical references

The standard treatments of structure-preserving integrators approach the subject from complementary angles. Hairer, Geometric Numerical Integration (2006) is the anchor reference for the subject and lays out the core definitions, theorems, and worked examples that practitioners return to.

Open methodological questions for structure-preserving integrators include sharpening the bridges between foundational theory and computational practice, extending classical results to broader or more structured settings, and integrating the techniques surveyed above with adjacent mathematical disciplines. The references listed in this page are the entry points that current work builds on.
