Symplectic and multisymplectic schemes with the simple finite element method

We study the numerical scheme of elliptic equations by the finite element method. With the special finite element domain, we can find that the scheme can keep a preserved symplectic structure in one-dimensional case and a preserved multisymplectic structure in two-dimensional case. Then we consider the discrete variational principle with the finite element method in the corresponding Lagrangian formalism for classical mechanics and field theory and get the symplectic or multisymplectic scheme of the Euler-Lagrangian equation
