Then, a couple of weeks ago I was pleased to read a post on variational integrators on Ganesh Swami’s wonderful blog (I nominated him for the Thinking Blogger Award for a reason). Quoting Ganesh: Variational methods, on the other hand, directly deal with equations arising out of Hamilton’s action principle.
