Symplectic Methods for Separable Hamiltonian Systems

This paper focuses on the solution of separable Hamiltonian systems using explicit symplectic integration methods. Strategies for reducing the effect of cumulative rounding errors are outlined and advantages over a standard formulation are demonstrated. Procedures for automatically choosing appropriate methods are also described.
