Explicit near-symplectic mappings of Hamiltonian systems with Lie-generating functions

The construction of explicit near-symplectic mappings for generic Hamiltonian systems with the utilization of Lie transforms is presented. The method is mathematically rigorous and systematically extended to high order with respect to a perturbation parameter. The explicit mappings are compared to their implicit counterparts, which use mixed-variable generating functions, in terms of conservation of invariant quantities, calculation speed and accurate construction of Poincare surfaces of sections. The comparative study considers a wide range of parameters and initial conditions for which different time scales are involved due to large differences between internal and external frequencies of…

Numerical experiments with single mode gyrotron equations

Gyrotrons are microwave sources whose operation is based on the stimulated cyclotron radiation of electrons oscillating in a static magnetic field. This process is described by the system of two complex differential equations: nonlinear first order ordinary differential equation with parameter (averaged equation of electron motion) and second order partial differential equation for high frequency field (RF field) in resonator (Schrödinger type equation for the wave amplitude). The stationary problem of the single mode gyrotron equation in short time interval with real initial conditions was numerically examined in our earlier work. In this paper we consider the stationary and nonstationary …
