1)The physics of the problem determines the optimal algorithm for its solution. Major themes : 2)Forward algorithms (all positive intermediate time-steps) are the “backbones” of composed symplectic integrators.
How 1) worksin the case of the Kepler orbit Energy error is periodic. Precession error accumulates without bound. (Kinoshita et al 91, Gladman et al 91) Error Hamiltonians cause “perihelion advances”.
Errors in the Kepler problem Energy error: periodic Precession error: accumulates (LRL vector)
Error Coefficients and Error Hamiltonians Error coefficients – depend on the mathematical structure of the algorithm. Error Hamiltonians (Poisson Brackets) – depend on the physics of the original Hamiltonian.
Error Hamiltonians of the Kepler Problem – up to the fourth order Perturbative effect (precession) of each error Hamiltonian on the exact orbit can be analytically computed.
Precession angle per period due to each error Hamiltonian 1) Each paired error Hamiltonians cause the orbit to precess oppositely by exactly the same amount after each period! 2) Precession errors return to zero if paired error coefficients are equal => corrector/process algorithms ( Wisdom(96), Lopez-Marcos, Sanz-Serna&Skeel(97,97), Blanes,Casas&Ros(99) ) 3) Physics of precession dictates the class of optimal algorithms.
Velocity-Verlet (VV) – 1 force Takahash-Imada (TI) – 2 forces Non-forward – 3 forces Effectively 4th order Second order corrector/process algorithms: eTTV = eVTV
Fourth-order corrector/process algorithmseTTTTV = eVTTTV , eTTVTV = eVTVTV C’- 6 forces; 4S ~7-8 forces; Effectively 6th order C - 4 force; Blanes-Moan (BM) 6 forces
The Physics of the error Hamiltonians dictates the optimal form of the algorithm. • Most efficient algorithms are those tailored to the problem one seeks to solve. • The age of customized algorithms: need to know the effects of error Hamiltonians (numerically). Conclusions thus far:
For The structure of factorized SIa fundamental theorem:(Chin 06) The error coefficients obey where
There’s a fundamental and precise relationship satisfied by the first three error coefficients. Implications of 2) The first three error coefficients cannot all vanish => Sheng(89)-Suzuki(91)Theorem
3) Second order corrector/process kernel algorithms require Implications of =>No forward corrector kernel algorithms with only T and V operators are possible beyond first order. (Chin 04, Blanes & Casas 05)
4) Ifand are zero, then Implications of can vanish only if => at least one ti must be negative => Goodman-Kaper (96), beyond second order, one ti and one vi must be negative.
5) Ifand are zero, then fourth-order forward algorithms with arbitrary number of operators can be derived by saturating the inequality, Implications of by setting where
Keeping the eVTVerror term means include the error commutator [V,[T,V]] in factorization schemes => Forward time-step algorithms Quantum case: Classically: (Chin 97,Ruth 83) and can be evaluated as

The general structure of symplectic integrators can be best understood by considering forward time-step algorithms as primary. • Underlying physics determines the optimal algorithm. • Forward algorithms best all known algorithms of the same order with the same effort in all cases tested.
