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

subject

description

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 the system.
