Abstract

Comparing the Poincaré plots of the Tokamap and the underlying Hamiltonian system reveals large differences. This stems from the particular choice of evaluation of the singular perturbations present in the system (a series of δ functions). A symmetric evaluation approach is proposed and shown to yield results that almost perfectly match the Hamiltonian system. © 2005 The American Physical Society.
