Numerical verification of the microscopic time reversibility of Newton’s equations of motion: fighting exponential divergence
Numerical solutions to Newtons equations of motion for chaotic self gravitating systems of more than 2 bodies are often regarded to be irreversible. This is due to the exponential growth of errors introduced by the integration scheme and the numerical round-off in the least significant figure. This...
