University of Leeds Workshop on Geometric Integration

4th May, 1999

Geometric integration is concerned with discretization methods for differential equations that respect geometric features of the underlying system. Examples include preservation of energy, volume and angular momentum, symplectic flows for Hamiltonian systems, and the exact recovery of self-similarities and other Lie symmetries. In the last few years geometric integration has emerged as a fully-fledged theory, combining numerical analysis and differential geometry.
