For the numerical treatment of Hamiltonian differential equations, symplectic integrators are the most suitable choice, and methods that are conjugate to a symplectic integrator share the same good long-time behavior. This note characterizes linear multistep methods whose underlying one-step method is conjugate to a symplectic integrator. The boundedness of parasitic solution components is not addressed.
