Variational Partitioned Runge–Kutta Methods for Lagrangians Linear in Velocities

In this paper, we construct higher-order variational integrators for a class of degenerate systems described by Lagrangians that are linear in velocities. We analyze the geometry underlying such systems and develop the appropriate theory for variational integration. Our main observation is that the...
