Conservation conjecture for truncated modified Hamiltonians in symplectic Euler
Conservation conjecture for truncated modified Hamiltonians in symplectic Euler
Let be closed and convex, and let and be -smooth of orders . For symplectic Euler with stepsize , write for the th-order truncated modified Hamiltonian and let denote the state after iterations. Conservation conjecture. For each , there exists a monotonic increasing, bounded function such that
This conjecture predicts that the conservation error grows linearly with the number of iterations, improves with the truncation order, and decreases with the stepsize. The source presents it as an expected but unproved dependence on the problem parameters.
