Popis: We present a new family of one-step symplectic integration schemes for Hamiltonian systems of the general form $${\dot y=J^{-1}\nabla H(y)^T}$$. Such a class of methods contains as particular cases the methods of Miesbach and Pesch (Numer Math 61:501–521, 1992), and also the family of symplectic Runge-Kutta methods. As in the case of the methods introduced in Miesbach and Pesch (Numer Math 61:501–521, 1992), the new integration methods are constructed by defining a generating function, which automatically determines a symplectic map. The resulting methods are implicit, and require the evaluation of the gradient of the Hamiltonian function as well as the Hessian times a vector.
