Multisymplectic structure of nonintegrable Henon-Heiles system

Abstract

Multi-symplectic integrators are typically regarded as a discretization of the Hamiltonian partial differential equations. This is due to the fact that, for generic finite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems, there exists only one independent symplectic structure. In this note, the second invariant symplectic form is presented for the nonintegrable Henon-Heiles system, Kepler problem, integrable and non-integrable Toda type systems. This approach facilitates the construction of a multi-symplectic integrator, which effectively preserves both symplectic forms for these benchmark problems.
