The role of symplectic integrators in optimal control

For general optimal control problems, Pontryagin's maximum principle gives necessary optimality conditions, which are in the form of a Hamiltonian differential equation. For its numerical integration, symplectic methods are a natural choice. This article investigates to which extent the excellent performance of symplectic integrators for long‐time integrations in astronomy and molecular dynamics carries over to problems in optimal control.
