Makino, Junichiro, Hut, Piet, Kaplan, Murat, Saygin, Hasan
The method of choice for integrating the equations of motion of the general N-body problem has been to use an individual time step scheme. For the sake of efficiency, block time steps have been the...
A New Time-Symmetric Block Time-Step Algorithm for N-Body Simulations (2005)
Kaplan, Murat, Saygin, Hasan, Hut, Piet, Makino, Jun
Time-symmetric integration schemes share with symplectic schemes the property that their energy errors show a much better behavior than is the case for generic integration schemes. Allowing adaptive...
