``A nonstandard Euler scheme for
y"+g(y)y'+f(y)y=0''
Abstract:
We introduce a nonstandard Euler scheme for solving the differential
equation y"+g(y)y'+f(y)y=0 which has the same linear stability
properties
as the differential equation and is conservative when g=0. The method is
based on a physically motivated reduction of the equations to a system
of
two first order equations and the use of Lie group integrators. The
method is demonstrated on a few examples and compared to other schemes,
including a symmetric standard scheme and a MATLAB adaptive solver.
