Abstract
We present new high-order symplectic integration schemes tailored for long-term numerical simulations of Hamiltonian systems, specifically focusing on celestial mechanics problems. These methods inherently preserve the symplectic structure of the system, offering superior stability and accuracy over extended periods, crucial for astrophysical models.
