Abstract

In this paper, we study generating forms and generating functions for volume preserving mappings in $\mathbf{R}^n$. We derive some parametric classes of volume preserving numerical schemes for divergence free vector fields. In passing, by extension of the Poincaré generating function and a change of variables, we obtained symplectic equivalent of the theta-method for differential equations, which includes the implicit midpoint rule and symplectic Euler A and B methods as special cases.
