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

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

\item Evaluate the forces at the new positions, $\mathbf{r}(\Delta t)$, and use the new forces to complete the velocity move. |
827 |

|
828 |

\item Repeat from step 1 with the new position, velocities, and forces assuming the roles of the initial values. |

Simply switching the order of splitting and composing, a new |
832 |
+ |
integrator, the \emph{position verlet} integrator, can be generated, |
833 |
+ |
\begin{align} |
834 |
+ |
\dot q(\Delta t) &= \dot q(0) + \Delta tF(q(0))\left[ {q(0) + |
835 |
+ |
\frac{{\Delta t}}{{2m}}\dot q(0)} \right], % |
836 |
+ |
\label{introEquation:positionVerlet1} \\% |
837 |
+ |
% |
838 |
+ |
q(\Delta t) &= q(0) + \frac{{\Delta t}}{2}\left[ {\dot q(0) + \dot |
839 |
+ |
q(\Delta t)} \right]. % |
840 |

\subsubsection{\label{introSection:errorAnalysis}Error Analysis and Higher Order Methods} |
844 |

|
845 |
+ |
Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula can be used to determine the local |
846 |
+ |
error of splitting method in terms of commutator of the |
847 |
+ |
operators(\ref{introEquation:exponentialOperator}) associated with |
848 |
+ |
the sub-flow. For operators $hX$ and $hY$ which are associate to |
849 |
+ |
$\varphi_1(t)$ and $\varphi_2(t$ respectively , we have |
850 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
851 |
+ |
\exp (hX + hY) = \exp (hZ) |
852 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
853 |
+ |
where |
854 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
855 |
+ |
hZ = hX + hY + \frac{{h^2 }}{2}[X,Y] + \frac{{h^3 }}{2}\left( |
856 |
+ |
{[X,[X,Y]] + [Y,[Y,X]]} \right) + \ldots . |
857 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
858 |
+ |
Here, $[X,Y]$ is the commutators of operator $X$ and $Y$ given by |
859 |
+ |
\[ |
860 |
+ |
[X,Y] = XY - YX . |
861 |
+ |
\] |
862 |
+ |
Applying Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula to Sprang splitting, we |
863 |
+ |
can obtain |
864 |
+ |
\begin{eqnarray*} |
865 |
+ |
\exp (h X/2)\exp (h Y)\exp (h X/2) & = & \exp (h X + h Y + h^2 |
866 |
+ |
[X,Y]/4 + h^2 [Y,X]/4 \\ & & \mbox{} + h^2 [X,X]/8 + h^2 [Y,Y]/8 \\ |
867 |
+ |
& & \mbox{} + h^3 [Y,[Y,X]]/12 - h^3 [X,[X,Y]]/24 & & \mbox{} + |
868 |
+ |
\ldots ) |
869 |
+ |
\end{eqnarray*} |
870 |
+ |
Since \[ [X,Y] + [Y,X] = 0\] and \[ [X,X] = 0\], the dominant local |
871 |
+ |
error of Spring splitting is proportional to $h^3$. The same |
872 |
+ |
procedure can be applied to general splitting, of the form |
873 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
874 |
+ |
\varphi _{b_m h}^2 \circ \varphi _{a_m h}^1 \circ \varphi _{b_{m - |
875 |
+ |
1} h}^2 \circ \ldots \circ \varphi _{a_1 h}^1 . |
876 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
877 |
+ |
Careful choice of coefficient $a_1 ,\ldot , b_m$ will lead to higher |
878 |
+ |
order method. Yoshida proposed an elegant way to compose higher |
879 |
+ |
order methods based on symmetric splitting. Given a symmetric second |
880 |
+ |
order base method $ \varphi _h^{(2)} $, a fourth-order symmetric |
881 |
+ |
method can be constructed by composing, |
882 |
+ |
\[ |
883 |
+ |
\varphi _h^{(4)} = \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2)} \circ \varphi _{\beta |
884 |
+ |
h}^{(2)} \circ \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2)} |
885 |
+ |
\] |
886 |
+ |
where $ \alpha = - \frac{{2^{1/3} }}{{2 - 2^{1/3} }}$ and $ \beta |
887 |
+ |
= \frac{{2^{1/3} }}{{2 - 2^{1/3} }}$. Moreover, a symmetric |
888 |
+ |
integrator $ \varphi _h^{(2n + 2)}$ can be composed by |
889 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
890 |
+ |
\varphi _h^{(2n + 2)} = \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2n)} \circ \varphi |
891 |
+ |
_{\beta h}^{(2n)} \circ \varphi _{\alpha h}^{(2n)} |
892 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
893 |
+ |
, if the weights are chosen as |
894 |
+ |
\[ |
895 |
+ |
\alpha = - \frac{{2^{1/(2n + 1)} }}{{2 - 2^{1/(2n + 1)} }},\beta = |
896 |
+ |
\frac{{2^{1/(2n + 1)} }}{{2 - 2^{1/(2n + 1)} }} . |
897 |

A rigid body is a body in which the distance between any two given |
915 |
< |
points of a rigid body remains constant regardless of external |
916 |
< |
forces exerted on it. A rigid body therefore conserves its shape |
917 |
< |
during its motion. |
914 |
> |
Rigid bodies are frequently involved in the modeling of different |
915 |
> |
areas, from engineering, physics, to chemistry. For example, |
916 |
> |
missiles and vehicle are usually modeled by rigid bodies. The |
917 |

movement of the objects in 3D gaming engine or other physics |
918 |

simulator is governed by the rigid body dynamics. In molecular |

It is very important to develop stable and efficient methods to |

rotational degrees of freedom. However, due to its singularity, the |
926 |

numerical integration of corresponding equations of motion is very |
927 |

different sets of Euler angles can overcome this difficulty\cite{}, |

the computational penalty and the lost of angular momentum |

utilizing quaternions was developed by Evans in 1977. Unfortunately, |
932 |

this approach suffer from the nonseparable Hamiltonian resulted from |
933 |

quaternion representation, which prevents the symplectic algorithm |

to be utilized. Another different approach is to apply holonomic |

constraints to the atoms belonging to the rigid body. Each atom |

941 |
|
|
942 |

The break through in geometric literature suggests that, in order to |
943 |
+ |
develop a long-term integration scheme, one should preserve the |
944 |
+ |
symplectic structure of the flow. Introducing conjugate momentum to |
945 |
+ |
rotation matrix $A$ and re-formulating Hamiltonian's equation, a |
946 |
+ |
symplectic integrator, RSHAKE, was proposed to evolve the |
947 |
+ |
Hamiltonian system in a constraint manifold by iteratively |
948 |
+ |
satisfying the orthogonality constraint $A_t A = 1$. An alternative |
949 |
+ |
method using quaternion representation was developed by Omelyan. |
950 |
+ |
However, both of these methods are iterative and inefficient. In |
951 |
+ |
this section, we will present a symplectic Lie-Poisson integrator |
952 |
+ |
for rigid body developed by Dullweber and his coworkers\cite{}. |
