In this work we introduce contact Hamiltonian mechanics, an extension of symplectic Hamiltonian mechanics, and show that it is a natural candidate for a geometric description of non-dissipative and dissipative systems. For this purpose we review in detail the major features of standard symplectic Hamiltonian dynamics and show that all of them can be generalized to the contact case.

Perturbation-theory informed integrators for cosmological simulations
LPT-matched integrators for cosmological simulations outperform FastPM with O(1-100) timesteps while convergence is limited to order 3/2 post-shell-crossing due to acceleration field irregularity.
