Abstract

The stability of symplectic algorithms is discussed in this paper. There are following conclusions.
1. Symplectic Runge-Kutta methods and symplectic one-step methods with high order derivative are unconditionally critically stable for Hamiltonian systems. Only some of them are A-stable for non-Hamiltonian systems. The criterion of judging A-stability is given.
2. The hopscotch schemes are conditionally critically stable for Hamiltonian systems. Their stability regions are only a segment on the imaginary axis for non-Hamiltonian systems.
3. All linear symplectic multistep methods are conditionally critically stable except the trapezoidal formula which is unconditionally critically stable for Hamiltonian systems. Only the trapezoidal formula is A-stable, and others only have segments on the imaginary axis as their stability regions for non-Hamiltonian systems.
