Abstract

In the present paper, based on the classical Magnus expansion, a simple and efficient fourth-order integrator is given for an arbitrary nonlinear dynamic system, which can preserve the qualitative properties of the exact solution. The proposed method can be considered an averaging technique, and only requires evaluations of exponentials of simple unidimensional integrals. Finally, the numerical examples are given to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the method of this paper.
