Multisymplecticity of the centred box discretization for hamiltonian PDEs with m ≥ 2 space dimensions Original Research Article

In this letter, it is shown that the centred box discretization for Hamiltonian PDEs with m ≥ 2 space dimensions is multisymplectic in the sense of Bridges and Reich in [1–6]. Multisymplectic discretizations for the generalized KP equation and the wave equation with 2 space dimensions, respectively, are given. A multisymplectically numerical scheme of the wave equation is derived.
