Discrete Euler-Lagrange Method.

We consider discrete Euler-Lagrange equations of the form

\[D_1 L_d (q_{n}, q_{n+1}) + D_2 L_d (q_{n-1}, q_{n}) = 0,\]

where $q_{n}$ approximates the solution $q(t_{n})$ and $L_d$ is any discrete Lagrangian.

Discrete Euler-Lagrange integrator cache.

Midpoint Variational Integrator in position-momentum form.

We consider a discrete Lagrangian of the form

\[L_d (q_{n}, q_{n+1}) = h \, L \bigg( \frac{q_{n} + q_{n+1}}{2}, \frac{q_{n+1} - q_{n}}{h} \bigg) ,\]

where $q_{n}$ approximates the solution $q(t_{n})$. The Euler-Lagrange equations are computed as:

\[\begin{aligned} p_{n } &= - D_{1} L_{d} (q_{n}, q_{n+1}) = \frac{h}{2} \, \frac{\partial L}{\partial q} \bigg( \frac{q_{n} + q_{n+1}}{2}, \frac{q_{n+1} - q_{n}}{h} \bigg) + \frac{\partial L}{\partial v} \bigg( \frac{q_{n} + q_{n+1}}{2}, \frac{q_{n+1} - q_{n}}{h} \bigg) , \\ p_{n+1} &= \hphantom{-} D_{2} L_{d} (q_{n}, q_{n+1}) = \frac{h}{2} \, \frac{\partial L}{\partial q} \bigg( \frac{q_{n} + q_{n+1}}{2}, \frac{q_{n+1} - q_{n}}{h} \bigg) + \frac{\partial L}{\partial v} \bigg( \frac{q_{n} + q_{n+1}}{2}, \frac{q_{n+1} - q_{n}}{h} \bigg) . \end{aligned}\]

The first equation can be solved implicitly for $q_{n+1}$ given $(q_{n}, p_{n})$. The second equation can be used to explicitly compute $p_{n+1}$.

where $q_{n}$ approximates the solution $q(t_{n})$. The Euler-Lagrange equations are computed as:

\[\begin{aligned} p_{n } &= - D_{1} L_{d} (q_{n}, q_{n+1}) = \frac{h}{2} \, \frac{\partial L}{\partial q} \bigg( q_{n}, \frac{q_{n+1} - q_{n}}{h} \bigg) + \frac{1}{2} \frac{\partial L}{\partial v} \bigg( q_{n}, \frac{q_{n+1} - q_{n}}{h} \bigg) + \frac{1}{2} \frac{\partial L}{\partial v} \bigg( q_{n+1}, \frac{q_{n+1} - q_{n}}{h} \bigg) , \\ p_{n+1} &= \hphantom{-} D_{2} L_{d} (q_{n}, q_{n+1}) = \frac{h}{2} \, \frac{\partial L}{\partial q} \bigg( q_{n}, \frac{q_{n+1} - q_{n}}{h} \bigg) + \frac{1}{2} \frac{\partial L}{\partial v} \bigg( q_{n}, \frac{q_{n+1} - q_{n}}{h} \bigg) + \frac{1}{2} \frac{\partial L}{\partial v} \bigg( q_{n+1}, \frac{q_{n+1} - q_{n}}{h} \bigg) . \end{aligned}\]

Hamilton-Pontryagin Integrator using midpoint quadrature.

We consider a discrete Lagrangian of the form

\[L_d (q_{n}, q_{n+1}) = h \, L \bigg( \frac{q_{n} + q_{n+1}}{2}, v_{n+1/2} \bigg) ,\]

where $q_{n}$ approximates the solution $q(t_n)$ and $v_{n+1/2}$ is the velocity, which is assumed to be constant in the interval $[t_{n}, t_{n+1}]$. The discrete Hamilton-Pontryagin action reads

\[A_d [q_d] = \sum \limits_{n=0}^{N-1} \bigg[ L_{d}^{\alpha,\beta} (q_{n}, q_{n+1}, v_{n+1/2}) + \left< p_{n+1/2} , \phi_h (q_{n}, q_{n+1}; a_{n,n+1}) - v_{n+1/2} \right> \bigg] ,\]

where $\phi_h$ is a map that computes the velocity $v_{n+1/2}$ as a function of $q_{n}$, $q_{n+1}$ and a set of parameters $a_{n,n+1}$. A trivial example of such a map that does not depend on any parameters $a_{n,n+1}$ is

\[\phi_h (q_{n}, q_{n+1}; a_{n,n+1}) = \frac{q_{n+1} - q_{n}}{h} .\]

In order to solve the discrete Euler-Lagrange equations, the user needs to specify the map $\phi_h$, its gradients with respect to $q_{n}$ and $q_{n+1}$, denoted by $D_1 \phi_h$ and $D_2 \phi_h$, respectively, the gradient with respect to the parameters, denoted by $D_a \phi_h$, and an initial set of parameters $a_{0}$.

The equations of motion, that are solved by this integrator, is computed as:

\[\begin{aligned} 0 &= \frac{h}{2} \, \frac{\partial L}{\partial q} \bigg( \frac{q_{n-1} + q_{n}}{2}, v_{n-1/2} \bigg) + \frac{h}{2} \, \frac{\partial L}{\partial q} \bigg( \frac{q_{n} + q_{n+1}}{2}, v_{n+1/2} \bigg) \\ &+ h \, D_1 \phi_h (q_{n}, q_{n+1}; a_{n,n+1}) \cdot p_{n+1/2} + h \, D_2 \phi_h (q_{n-1}, q_{n}; a_{n-1,n}) \cdot p_{n-1/2} , \\ 0 &= D_a \phi_h (q_{n}, q_{n+1}; a_{n,n+1}) \cdot p_{n+1/2} , \\ p_{n+1/2} &= \frac{\partial L}{\partial v} \bigg( \frac{q_{n} + q_{n+1}}{2}, v_{n+1/2} \bigg) , \\ v_{n+1/2} &= \phi_h (q_{n}, q_{n+1}; a_{n,n+1}) . \end{aligned}\]

Upon defining the momentum

\[p_{n} = h \, D_2 \phi_h (q_{n-1}, q_{n}; a_{n-1,n}) \cdot p_{n-1/2} + \frac{h}{2} \, \frac{\partial L}{\partial q} \bigg( \frac{q_{n-1} + q_{n}}{2}, v_{n-1/2} \bigg) ,\]

we can rewrite the equations of motion as

\[\begin{aligned} 0 &= p_{n} + \frac{h}{2} \, \frac{\partial L}{\partial q} \bigg( \frac{q_{n} + q_{n+1}}{2}, v_{n+1/2} \bigg) + h \, D_1 \phi_h (q_{n}, q_{n+1}; a_{n,n+1}) \cdot p_{n+1/2} , \\ 0 &= D_a \phi_h (q_{n}, q_{n+1}; a_{n,n+1}) \cdot p_{n+1/2} , \\ v_{n+1/2} &= \phi_h (q_{n}, q_{n+1}; a_{n,n+1}) , \\ p_{n+1/2} &= \frac{\partial L}{\partial v} \bigg( \frac{q_{n} + q_{n+1}}{2}, v_{n+1/2} \bigg) , \\ p_{n+1} &= h \, D_2 \phi_h (q_{n}, q_{n+1}; a_{n,n+1}) \cdot p_{n+1/2} + \frac{h}{2} \, \frac{\partial L}{\partial q} \bigg( \frac{q_{n} + q_{n+1}}{2}, v_{n+1/2} \bigg) . \end{aligned}\]

Given $(q_{n}, p_{n})$, the first four equations are solved for $q_{n+1}$, where $v_{n+1/2}$, $p_{n+1/2}$, and $a_{n,n+1}$ are treated as internal variables similar to the internal stages of a Runge-Kutta method. The last equation provides an explicit update for $p_{n+1}$.

Hamilton-Pontryagin Integrator using trapezoidal quadrature.

We consider a discrete Lagrangian of the form

\[L_d (q_{n}, q_{n+1}) = \frac{h}{2} \big[ L (q_{n}, v_{n+1/2}) + L (q_{n+1}, v_{n+1/2}) \big] ,\]

where $q_{n}$ approximates the solution $q(t_n)$ and $v_{n+1/2}$ is the velocity, which is assumed to be constant in the interval $[t_{n}, t_{n+1}]$. The discrete Hamilton-Pontryagin action reads

\[A_d [q_d] = \sum \limits_{n=0}^{N-1} \bigg[ L_d (q_{n}, q_{n+1}) + h \left< p_{n+1/2} , \phi_h (q_{n}, q_{n+1}; a_{n,n+1}) - v_{n+1/2} \right> \bigg] ,\]

where $\phi_h$ is a map that computes the velocity $v_{n+1/2}$ as a function of $q_{n}$, $q_{n+1}$ and a set of parameters $a_{n,n+1}$. A trivial example of such a map that does not depend on any parameters $a_{n,n+1}$ is

\[\phi_h (q_{n}, q_{n+1}; a_{n,n+1}) = \frac{q_{n+1} - q_{n}}{h} .\]

In order to solve the discrete Euler-Lagrange equations, the user needs to specify the map $\phi_h$, its gradients with respect to $q_{n}$ and $q_{n+1}$, denoted by $D_1 \phi_h$ and $D_2 \phi_h$, respectively, the gradient with respect to the parameters, denoted by $D_a \phi_h$, and an initial set of parameters $a_{0}$.

The equations of motion, that are solved by this integrator, are:

\[\begin{aligned} 0 &= p_{n} + \frac{h}{2} \, \frac{\partial L}{\partial q} (q_{n}, v_{n+1/2}) + h \, D_1 \phi_h (q_{n}, q_{n+1}; a_{n,n+1}) \cdot p_{n+1/2} , \\ 0 &= D_a \phi_h (q_{n}, q_{n+1}; a_{n,n+1}) \cdot p_{n+1/2} , \\ v_{n+1/2} &= \phi_h (q_{n}, q_{n+1}; a_{n,n+1}) , \\ p_{n+1/2} &= \frac{1}{2} \, \frac{\partial L}{\partial v} (q_{n}, v_{n+1/2}) + \frac{1}{2} \, \frac{\partial L}{\partial v} (q_{n+1}, v_{n+1/2}) , \\ p_{n+1} &= h \, D_2 \phi_h (q_{n}, q_{n+1}; a_{n,n+1}) \cdot p_{n+1/2} + \frac{h}{2} \, \frac{\partial L}{\partial q} (q_{n+1}, v_{n+1/2}) . \end{aligned}\]

Given $(q_{n}, p_{n})$, the first four equations are solved for $q_{n+1}$, where $v_{n+1/2}$, $p_{n+1/2}$, and $a_{n,n+1}$ are treated as internal variables similar to the internal stages of a Runge-Kutta method. The last equation provides an explicit update for $p_{n+1}$.

Strang Splitting

For a vector field $\dot{x} = f_1 (t,x) + f_2 (t,x)$, the splitting reads

\[\Phi_{\Delta t} = \varphi^{1}_{\Delta t / 2} \circ \varphi^{2}_{\Delta t / 2} \circ \varphi^{2}_{\Delta t / 2} \circ \varphi^{1}_{\Delta t / 2}\]

For vector fields with two components, this is not the most efficient implementation. For such cases StrangA or StrangB should be used instead.

Splitting(method::AbstractSplittingMethod, problem::SODEProblem)

The vectors f and c define the actual splitting method: f is a vector of indices of the flows in the split equation (that is the exact solution which can be obtained by solutions(problem)) to be solved and c is a vector of the same size as f that contains the coefficients for each splitting step, i.e., the resulting integrator has the form

\[\varphi_{\tau} = \phi_{c[s] \tau}^{v_{f[s]}} \circ \dotsc \circ \phi_{c[2] \tau}^{v_{f[2]}} \circ \phi_{c[1] \tau}^{v_{f[1]}} .\]

In the second constructor, these vectors are constructed from the splitting method and the problem.

Composition integrator for the solution of initial value problems

\[\dot{q} (t) = v(t, q(t)) , \qquad q(t_{0}) = q_{0} ,\]

whose vector field $v$ is given as a sum of vector fields

\[v (t) = v_1 (t) + ... + v_r (t) .\]

Composition has one main constructor:

Composition(methods, splitting)

The first argument is tuple of methods that are used to solve each substep, and the second argument is a splitting method. A second convenience constructor uses the ExactSolution for all steps:

Composition(splitting) = Composition(ExactSolution(), splitting)

This constructs a composition method that is equivalent to a plain Splitting. In order to include exact solutions in the composition, the ExactSolution method implements the general integrator interface.
