Discrete line integral method for the Lorentz force system

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper, we apply the Boole discrete line integral to solve the Lorentz force system which is written as a non-canonical Hamiltonian system. The method is exactly energy-conserving for polynomial Hamiltonians of degree ν≤4ν\leq 4. In any other case, the energy can also be conserved approximatively. With comparison to well-used Boris method, numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate the energy-preserving property of the method.
