Difference Discrete Variational Principles,Euler—Lagrange Cohomology and Symplectic,Multisymplectic Structures Ⅲ：Application to Symplectic and Multisymplectic Algorithms

摘要

Inthe previous papers I and II,we have studied the difference discrete variational principle and the Euler-Lagrange cohomology in the framework of multi-parameter differential approach.We have gotten the difference discrete Euler-Lagrange equations and canonical ones for the difference discrete versions of classical mechanics and field theory as well as the difference discrete versions for the Euler-Lagrange cohomology and applied them to get the necessary and sufficient condition for the symplectic or multisymplectic geometry preserving properties in both the lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms.In this paper,we apply the difference discrete variational principle and Euler-Lagrange cohomological approach directly to the symplectic and multisymplectic algorithms.We will show that either Hamiltonian schemes of Lagrangian ones in both the symplectic and multisymplectic algorithms are variational integrators and their difference discrete symplectic structure-preserving properties can always be established not only in the solution space but also in the function space if and only if the related closed Euler-Lagrange cohomological conditions are satisfied.
