Workshop on: Invariant and Symmetry Preserving Simulation Algorithms for N-Body Problems

April 25-26, 2002

Leicester, United Kingdom

Mathematics

Host: Mathematical Modelling Centre at the University of Leicester
Homepage: http://www.maths.warwick.ac.uk/~mark/symposium/

Description:
Geometric (symplectic, reversible) integrators, multiple time-scale integrators (multiple timestepping mollified methods, reversible averaging), methods for treating close approaches in Coulombic systems, symplectic correction methods, adaptive geometric integrators, individual timestep methods, backward error analysis of geometric integrators, and switching methods. Several speakers will discuss recent variational approaches, in particular as concerns their practical implementation and application. Connections to other related topics, such as Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, which often includes a gravitational component, will also be discussed.
