High-order discrete differential and integral calculus and Galerkin variational integrators
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We define high-order discrete differential and integral calculus following the discrete embedding formalism strategy. Using this framework, we define high-order discrete Lagrangian functionals and the corresponding calculus of variations. This provides a new derivation of Galerkin variational integrators.
