Abstract:
      In this paper,a new variational principle is proposed for the finite dimensional autonomous Hamiltonian systems and four types of symplecitc numerical algorithms are constructed.A modified action is defined by using the new variational principle.Then,the approximated action is obtained by approximating the generalized coordinates and momenta by Lagrange polynomials within a time step,and approximating the time integrals by means of Gaussian quadrature.Based on the approximated action and by taking generalized coordinates or momenta as independent variables at each end of the time step,four types of symplecitc numerical algorithms are constructed.In this paper,the detailed procedure for the construction of the algorithms is given and the proof of symplectic property and the numerical performance of the algorithms will present in other papers.
