Question regarding Hamiltonian systems
Line 41:
== Method name ==
This is the same thing as semi-explicit Euler, right? Would it anger anyone if suggested the article be renamed to either [[Semi-explicit Euler]] or [[Symplectic Euler]] since those are the names people are familiar with? --[[User:Numsgil|Numsgil]] ([[User talk:Numsgil|talk]]) 18:36, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 
== Arguments of ''f'' and ''g'' ==
When solving the equations of motion for a damped, driven oscillator the acceleration is a function of both ''x'' and ''v'' and I don't see in principle why the velocity couldn't also be a function of ''x''. I was going to make this change but I wonder if this would have a bearing on whether the system is a Hamiltonian system. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
 
I have used this method to obtain solutions for the damped, driven oscillator and the results seem to agree with other methods.--[[User:DJIndica|DJIndica]] ([[User talk:DJIndica|talk]]) 20:40, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
