A long-term numerical energy-preserving analysis of symmetric and/or symplectic extended RKN integrators for efficiently solving highly oscillatory Hamiltonian systems

This paper presents a long-term analysis of one-stage extended Runge–Kutta–Nyström (ERKN) integrators for highly oscillatory Hamiltonian systems. We study the long-time numerical energy conservation not only for symmetric integrators but also for symplectic integrators. In the analysis, we neither assume symplecticity for symmetric methods, nor assume symmetry for symplectic methods. It turns out that these both types of integrators have a near conservation of the total and oscillatory energy over a long term. To prove the result for explicit integrators, a relationship between ERKN integrators and trigonometric integrators is established. For the long-term analysis of implicit integrators, the above approach does not work anymore and we use the technology of modulated Fourier expansion. By taking some adaptations of this technology for implicit methods, we derive the modulated Fourier expansion and show the near energy conservation.
