An Introduction to Lie Group Integrators
by E. Celledoni, H. Marthinsen, B. Owren
Publisher: arXiv 2012
Number of pages: 28
Description:
We give a short and elementary introduction to Lie group methods. A selection of applications of Lie group integrators are discussed. Finally, a family of symplectic integrators on cotangent bundles of Lie groups is presented and the notion of discrete gradient methods is generalised to Lie groups.

This work is a modern exposition of the theory of algebraic group schemes, Lie groups, and their arithmetic subgroups. Algebraic groups are groups defined by polynomials. Those in this book can all be realized as groups of matrices.

Introductory Treatise On Lie's Theory Of Finite Continuous Transformation Groupsby John Edward Campbell - Oxford Clarendon Press
In this treatise an attempt is made to give, in as elementary a form as possible, the main outlines of Lie's theory of Continuous Groups. Even those familiar with the theory may find something new in the form in which the theory is here presented.
