If this region is small enough, the density $\rho$ can be regarded |

as uniform over the whole phase space. Thus, the number of phase |

\begin{equation} |

\delta N = \rho \delta v = \rho \int { \ldots \int {dq_1 } ...dq_f |

\begin{equation} |

\varphi _\tau \circ \varphi _{ - \tau } = I |

The classical equation for a system consisting of interacting |

particles can be written in Hamiltonian form, |

\[ |

H = T + V |
| 755 |

\] |
| 756 |

where $T$ is the kinetic energy and $V$ is the potential energy. |
| 757 |
+ |
Setting $H_1 = T, H_2 = V$ and applying Strang splitting, one |
| 758 |
+ |
obtains the following: |
| 759 |
+ |
\begin{align} |
| 760 |

q(\Delta t) &= q(0) + \dot{q}(0)\Delta t + |

\frac{F[q(0)]}{m}\frac{\Delta t^2}{2}, % |

\biggl [F[q(0)] + F[q(\Delta t)] \biggr]. % |
| 766 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:Lp10b} |
| 767 |

\end{align} |
| 768 |

where $F(t)$ is the force at time $t$. This integration scheme is |
| 769 |
+ |
known as \emph{velocity verlet} which is |
| 770 |
+ |
symplectic(\ref{introEquation:SymplecticFlowComposition}), |
| 771 |

time-reversible(\ref{introEquation:timeReversible}) and |
| 772 |

volume-preserving (\ref{introEquation:volumePreserving}). These |
| 773 |
+ |
geometric properties attribute to its long-time stability and its |
| 774 |
+ |
popularity in the community. However, the most commonly used |
| 775 |
+ |
velocity verlet integration scheme is written as below, |
| 776 |
+ |
\begin{align} |
| 777 |
+ |
\dot{q}\biggl (\frac{\Delta t}{2}\biggr ) &= |
| 778 |

\dot{q}(0) + \frac{\Delta t}{2m}\, F[q(0)], \label{introEquation:Lp9a}\\% |

\end{align} |
| 786 |
+ |
From the preceding splitting, one can see that the integration of |
| 787 |
+ |
the equations of motion would follow: |
| 788 |
+ |
\begin{enumerate} |
| 789 |
+ |
\item calculate the velocities at the half step, $\frac{\Delta t}{2}$, from the forces calculated at the initial position. |
| 790 |
+ |
|
| 791 |
+ |
\item Use the half step velocities to move positions one whole step, $\Delta t$. |
| 792 |
+ |
|
| 793 |
+ |
\item Evaluate the forces at the new positions, $\mathbf{r}(\Delta t)$, and use the new forces to complete the velocity move. |
| 794 |
+ |
|
| 795 |
+ |
\item Repeat from step 1 with the new position, velocities, and forces assuming the roles of the initial values. |

|
| 798 |

Simply switching the order of splitting and composing, a new |

integrator, the \emph{position verlet} integrator, can be generated, |
| 800 |

error of splitting method in terms of commutator of the |

\begin{equation} |

hZ = hX + hY + \frac{{h^2 }}{2}[X,Y] + \frac{{h^3 }}{2}\left( |

Since \[ [X,Y] + [Y,X] = 0\] and \[ [X,X] = 0\], the dominant local |
| 837 |
+ |
error of Spring splitting is proportional to $h^3$. The same |
| 838 |
+ |
procedure can be applied to general splitting, of the form |
| 839 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 840 |
+ |
\varphi _{b_m h}^2 \circ \varphi _{a_m h}^1 \circ \varphi _{b_{m - |
| 841 |
+ |
1} h}^2 \circ \ldots \circ \varphi _{a_1 h}^1 . |
| 842 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 843 |
+ |
Careful choice of coefficient $a_1 ,\ldot , b_m$ will lead to higher |
| 844 |
+ |
order method. Yoshida proposed an elegant way to compose higher |
| 845 |
+ |
order methods based on symmetric splitting. Given a symmetric second |
| 846 |
+ |
order base method $ \varphi _h^{(2)} $, a fourth-order symmetric |
| 847 |
+ |
method can be constructed by composing, |
| 848 |
+ |
\[ |
| 849 |
+ |
\varphi _h^{(4)} = \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2)} \circ \varphi _{\beta |
| 850 |
+ |
h}^{(2)} \circ \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2)} |
| 851 |
+ |
\] |
| 852 |
+ |
where $ \alpha = - \frac{{2^{1/3} }}{{2 - 2^{1/3} }}$ and $ \beta |
| 853 |
+ |
= \frac{{2^{1/3} }}{{2 - 2^{1/3} }}$. Moreover, a symmetric |
| 854 |
+ |
integrator $ \varphi _h^{(2n + 2)}$ can be composed by |
| 855 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 856 |
+ |
\varphi _h^{(2n + 2)} = \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2n)} \circ \varphi |
| 857 |
+ |
_{\beta h}^{(2n)} \circ \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2n)} |
| 858 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 859 |
+ |
, if the weights are chosen as |
| 860 |
+ |
\[ |
| 861 |
+ |
\alpha = - \frac{{2^{1/(2n + 1)} }}{{2 - 2^{1/(2n + 1)} }},\beta = |
| 862 |
+ |
\frac{{2^{1/(2n + 1)} }}{{2 - 2^{1/(2n + 1)} }} . |
| 863 |
+ |
