On the symplectic integration of the Klein Gordon lattice model

Abstract

We investigate the performance of various methods of symplectic integration, which are based on two part splitting of the integration operator, for the numerical integration of multidimensional Hamiltonian systems. We implement these schemes to study the behavior of the one-dimensional quartic Klein Gordon disordered lattice with many degrees of freedom (of the order of a few hundreds) and compare their efficiency for the weak chaos regime of the system's dynamics. For this reason we perform extensive simulations for each considered integration scheme. In the process, the second moment and the participation number of the propagating wave packets, along with the system's relative energy error and the required CPU time are registered and compared.
