Arbitrarily high-order energy-conserving methods for Poisson problems

Abstract

In this paper we are concerned with energy-conserving methods for Poisson problems, which are effectively solved by defining a suitable generalization of HBVMs, a class of energy-conserving methods for Hamiltonian problems. The actual implementation of the methods is fully discussed, with a particular emphasis on the conservation of Casimirs. Some numerical tests are reported, in order to assess the theoretical findings.
