N-body Integrators

N-Body Integrators is a computational method designed to numerically solve the equations of motion for a system of N gravitationally interacting bodies, distinguished from other dynamical simulation techniques by its explicit focus on preserving long-term stability and accuracy in hierarchical and large-scale astrophysical systems.
