New Langevin and gradient thermostats for rigid body dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, two new thermostats, one of Langevin type and one of gradient (Brownian) type, for rigid body dynamics were introduced, which preserve the unit length of quaternions, without the need of a projection onto the unit sphere.

Computation of the Exponential of Large Sparse Skew-Symmetric Matrices

TL;DR: The proposed method is based on two main steps: A is factorized into its tridiagonal form H by the well-known Lanczos iterative process, and then exp(A) is derived making use of an effective Schur decomposition of H.

Lie-Butcher theory for Runge-Kutta methods

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that there is an intimate connection between Lie series and Lie groups on one hand and Butcher's celebrated theory of order conditions on the other, which leads to a theory for the order conditions, which can be developed in a completely coordinate free manner.

Methods for the approximation of the matrix exponential in a Lie‐algebraic setting

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the approximation of the matrix exponential in a particular context: given a Lie group G and its Lie algebra g, they sought approximants F(tB) of exp(tb) such that F(b) ∈ G if B ∈ g. They studied order conditions and implementation details and conclude the paper with some numerical experiments.
