Conformally symplectic systems send a symplectic form into a
multiple of itself. They appear in mecanical systems with friction proportional to the velocity and as Euler-Lagrange equations of the time discounted actions common in economics. The conformaly symplectic structure
provides identities that we use to prove "a-posteriori" theorems that
show that if we have an approximate solution which satisfies some non-degeneracy conditions, we can obtain a true solution close to the approximate one. The identities used to prove the theorem, also lead to very efficient algorithms with small
storage and operation counts. We will also present implementations of the algorithms.
