Abstract

We propose a systematic framework for constructing geometric integrators for Hamiltonian systems on Jacobi manifolds. By combining Poissonization of Jacobi structures with homogeneous symplectic bi-realizations, Jacobi dynamics are lifted to homogeneous Poisson Hamiltonian systems, enabling the construction of structure-preserving Jacobi Hamiltonian integrators. The resulting schemes are constructed explicitly and applied to a range of examples, including contact Hamiltonian systems and classical models. Numerical experiments highlight their qualitative advantages over standard integrators, including better preservation of geometric structure and improved long-time behavior.
