Background:

• Symplectic exponentially fitted Runge-Kutta-Nyström (RKN) methods are vital for simulating oscillatory systems.
• Existing methods have been applied to diverse problems like the Kepler problem and harmonic oscillators.
• There is a need for integrators with enhanced accuracy and efficiency in preserving long-term dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

• To construct a novel implicit symmetric and symplectic exponentially fitted modified Runge-Kutta-Nyström (ISSEFMRKN) method.
• To achieve exact integration for differential systems with specific solution forms.
• To demonstrate the method's performance and advantages over existing numerical integrators.

Main Methods:

• Analysis of the method's exact integration properties for systems with solutions in specific function spaces.
• Comparison of the ISSEFMRKN method with established numerical codes through experiments.

Main Results:

• The proposed ISSEFMRKN method integrates exactly differential systems with solutions as linear combinations of specific functions.
• The method reduces to the classical symplectic, symmetric RKN integrator as a special case (when a parameter approaches zero).
• Numerical experiments confirm the efficiency and competence of the ISSEFMRKN method.

Conclusions:

• The ISSEFMRKN method offers a powerful new tool for the numerical integration of oscillatory problems.
• Its properties of symmetry, symplecticity, and exponential fitting enhance accuracy and efficiency.
• The method shows significant potential for applications in physics and computational science where long-term stability is crucial.
