Abstract
In this paper, we apply the symplectic integration method using jolt f actorization described in an earlier paper to the symplectic map descr ibing the nonlinear pendulum Hamiltonian. We compare results obtained with this method with those obtained using non-symplectic methods and demonstrate that our results are much better.
