Symplectic integration of simple collisions : a backward error analysis

Molecular Dynamics simulations often involve the numerical integration of pair-wise particle interactions with a constant, step size method. Of primary concern in these simulations is the introduction of error in velocity statistics. We consider the simple example of the symplectic Euler method a...
