Abstract

We have modified the Encke Method for numerical integration of differential equations of motion of asteroids and comets. The numerical solution is considered as a sum of the approximate solution and a small term representing the deviation from the approximate solution. The Taylor polynomial in power of time is taken as the approximation, which is calculated with multiple accuracy. The differential equation is written for the small term and the term is computed by integration the differential equation with ordinary precision. The integration step is chosen so that the term is less than a certain value. This approach allows us to increase the precision of numerical integration without significantly increasing the integration time.

numerical solution is considered as a sum of the approximate solution
and a small term representing the deviation from the approximate

precision. The integration step is chosen so that the term is less
than a certain value. This approach allows us to increase the
precision of numerical integration without significantly increasing
