Abstract
In this paper new forms of computer simulation of non‐linear phenomena in Newtonian mechanics are developed. Energy conservation of the discrete formulations is established and applications are made to the studies of non‐linear oscillation, planetary orbits, non‐degenerate three‐body problems, and non‐linear string vibrations.
