A symplectic integrator is a type of numerical method used to solve Hamiltonian systems, which are a class of differential equations that arise in classical mechanics. The main feature of symplectic integrators is that they preserve the symplectic structure of the phase space, which is mathematically represented by the Hamiltonian equations of motion.
