Fig 1.

This figure illustrates how well exactly conserved quantities are preserved by our symplectic numerical solvers, compared to the standard Runge-Kutta methods implemented in scipy.integrate.solve_ivp.

For the 3-site Toda lattice, reduced to relative coordinates, the constants of motion are the Hamiltonian H of Eq (11) and of Eq (12). Here ΔH = [H(t) − H(0)]/H(0), calculated from the numerical solutions, and similar for ΔC3⊥. Here τ is the fixed timestep of the sympletic solvers.

Fig 3.

Poincaré sections for an orbit of the reduced 3-site Toda lattice model of Eq (11).

Each panel shows 4000 crossings of the (q1 = 0)-plane, 2000 in the positive direction (p1 > 0, marked blue), and 2000 in the negative direction (p1 < 0, marked red). The dynamics between each crossing is determined by KiMoKi solvers of order 2 (left panel) resp. 4 (right panel), with timestep τ = 0.005. The initial condition is z0 = (0, 1, 9.95073, 10), with H0 = 100, C3⊥ = −15852.72982, for the left panel, and z0 = (0, 1, 19.97541, 10), with H0 = 250, C3⊥ = 16117.70199, for the right panel.

Poincaré sections for an orbit of the reduced 3-site Toda lattice model of Eq (11).

Each panel shows 4000 crossings of the (q2 = 0)-plane, 2000 in the positive direction (p2 > 0, marked blue), and 2000 in the negative direction (p2 < 0, marked red). The dynamics between each crossing is determined by a KiMoKi solver of order 6, with timestep τ = 0.01. The initial condition is z0 = (1, 0, 22, 5.04993), with H0 = 256, C3⊥ = 72099.45264, for the left panel, and z0 = (0, 0.1, 1.40733), with H0 = 1, C3⊥ = 23.51188 for the right panel.

Fig 5.

Poincaré sections for an orbit of the reduced 3-site Toda lattice model of Eq (11).

The left panel shows 4 000 crossings of the (q2 = 0)-plane, 2 000 in the positive direction (p2 > 0, marked blue) and 2 000 in the negative direction (p2 < 0, marked red). The right panel similarly shows 4 000 crossings of the (q1 = 0)-plane. The dynamics between each crossing is determined by a KiMoKi solver of order 8, with timestep τ = 0.05. The initial condition is z0 = (0.1, 0, 0.1, 1.40709), with H0 = 1, C3⊥ = −6.45412, for the left panel, and z0 = (0, 1, 6.92943, 1), with H0 = 25, C3⊥ = 2597.68431, for the right panel.

A quasi-periodic orbit z(t) for times 0 ≤ t ≤ 2000, found by the KiMoKi solvers of order N = 2 (left panel) and order N = 4 (right panel) with timestep τ = 0.1, projected to respectively the (q1, q2, p2) (left) and (q1, q2, p1) (right) subspaces.

An orbit z(t) with initial value z0 = (0.1, 0, 0.1, 1.40709), corrsponding to H0 = 1 and C3⊥ = −6.45412. The solution is computed for times 0 ≤ t ≤ 5 000 with timestep τ = 0.1; for better visibility only the last hundred time units are plotted.
