  • Abstract

This paper is concerned with the finite element method for nonlinear Hamiltonian systems from three aspects: conservation of energy, symplicity, and the global error. To study the symplecticity of the finite element methods, we use an analytical method rather than the commonly used algebraic method. We prove optimal order of convergence at the nodes $t_n$ for mid-long time and demonstrate the symplecticity of high accuracy. The proofs depend strongly on superconvergence analysis. Numerical experiments show that the proposed method can preserve the energy very well and also can make the global trajectory error small for a long time.
