Efficient symplectic integrators for cubic and quartic potentialsAlejandro Escorihuela-Tomàs
We present a set of new, efficient high-order symplectic methods designed for Hamiltonian systems with cubic or quartic potentials. By demonstrating that polynomial potentials require fewer order conditions, we develop schemes that outperform both standard symmetric compositions of second-order methods and existing RKN splitting methods. Numerical results confirm their improved efficiency over state-of-the-art alternatives found in the literature.
