Abstract

We discuss the structure of the local error of exponential operator splitting methods. In particular, it is shown that the leading error term is a Lie element, i.e., a linear combination of higher-degree commutators of the given operators. This structural assertion can be used to formulate a simple algorithm for the automatic generation of a minimal set of polynomial equations representing the order conditions, for the general case as well as in symmetric settings.
