Abstract

By assuming that time is discrete, discrete Lagrange's equations and discrete canonical equations are derived on the basis of the principle of least action. The discrete mechanics contains no differentiation and integration, but contains difference quotients and summations. The time interval is not required to be infinitesimal. The discrete canonical equations conserve the Hamiltonian exactly.
