SUMMARY:Finite element methods for Hamiltonian PDEs - Ari Stern (Washingto
 n University in St. Louis)
DTSTART:20190814T140000Z

CONTACT:INI IT
DESCRIPTION:Hamiltonian ODEs satisfy a symplectic conservation law\, and t
 here are many advantages to using numerical integrators that preserves thi
 s structure. This talk will discuss how the canonical Hamiltonian structur
 e\, and its preservation by a numerical method\, can be generalized to PDE
 s. I will also provide a basic introduction to the finite element method a
 nd\, time permitting\, discuss how some classic symplectic integrators can
  be understood from this point of view.  <br><br><br><br><br>
