Hamiltonian Variational Integrators and Adaptive Symplectic
Integrators
Jeremy Schmitt

Abstract:
In this talk we will cover the topic of Hamiltonian variational
Integrators and a framework for adaptive symplectic integrators. First, I
will introduce variational integrators from the perspective of duality in
optimization. Then a variety of results will be presented on Hamiltonian
variational integrators and the role they can play in developing adaptive
symplectic integrators.
