Collective Lie-Poisson integrators on R3
Journal article, 2015

We develop Lie–Poisson integrators for general Hamiltonian systems on ℝ3 equipped with the rigid body bracket. The method uses symplectic realization of ℝ3 on T*ℝ2 and application of symplectic Runge–Kutta schemes. As a consequence, we obtain simple symplectic integrators for general Hamiltonian systems on the sphere S2.
