Discrete action functionals and symplectic integrators — •Ralf Peter and Jörg Frauendiener — Universität Tübingen, Abteilung Theoretische Astrophysik, Auf der Morgenstelle 10, 72076 Tübingen

We present our results for discrete action functionals (analogous to [1]) and for the symplectic time integrator Rattle [2], applied to relativistic field theories with constraints. As test objects, we use in both cases a 1+1-dimensional wave map.
