Abstract

We introduce a new class of parametrized structure--preserving partitioned Runge-Kutta ($\alpha$-PRK) methods for Hamiltonian systems with holonomic constraints.  The methods are symplectic for any fixed scalar parameter $\alpha$, and are reduced to the usual symplectic PRK methods like Shake-Rattle method or PRK schemes based on Lobatto IIIA-IIIB pairs when $\alpha=0$. We provide a new variational formulation for symplectic PRK schemes and use it to prove that the $\alpha$-PRK methods can preserve the quadratic invariants for Hamiltonian systems subject to holonomic constraints. Meanwhile, for any given consistent initial values $(p_{0}, q_0)$ and small step size $h>0$, it is proved that there exists $\alpha^*=\alpha(h, p_0, q_0)$ such that the Hamiltonian energy can also be exactly preserved at each step. Based on this, we propose some energy and quadratic invariants preserving $\alpha$-PRK methods. These $\alpha$-PRK methods are shown to have the same convergence rate as the usual PRK methods and perform very well in various numerical experiments.
