Numerical integration in celestial mechanics: a case for contact geometry
Alessandro Bravetti, Marcello Seri, Mats Vermeeren +1
Several dynamical systems of interest in celestial mechanics can be written in the form of a Newton equation with time-dependent damping, linear in the velocities. For instance, th…

Contact variational integrators
Mats Vermeeren, Alessandro Bravetti, Marcello Seri
We present geometric numerical integrators for contact flows that stem from a discretization of Herglotz' variational principle. First we show that the resulting discrete map is a…
