Energy behavior of Boris algorithm

The energy behavior of the Boris method is found to be strongly related to the integrability of the Hamiltonian system, and if the invariant tori is preserved under Boris discretization, the energy error can be bounded for an exponentially long time, otherwise the error will show a linear growth.

A class of explicit symmetric multistep methods is proposed for integrating the equations of motion of charged particles in an electro-magnetic field. The magnetic forces are built into these methods…

Long-term analysis of a variational integrator for charged-particle dynamics in a strong magnetic field

The numerical discretisation is studied for a variational integrator that is an analogue for charged-particle dynamics of the Störmer–Verlet method to yield near-conservation of a modified magnetic moment and a modified energy over similarly long times.

Long-term analysis of a variational integrator for charged-particle dynamics in a strong magnetic field

The differential equations of motion of a charged particle in a strong non-uniform magnetic field have the magnetic moment as an adiabatic invariant. This quantity is nearly conserved over long time…
