Summary: Hamiltonian systems arise in many areas of physics, mechanics, and engineering sciences as well as in pure and applied mathematics. To their symplectic integration certain Runge-Kuttatype methods are profitably applied (see Sanz-Serna and Calvo [10]). In this paper Runge-Kutta and partitioned Runge-Kutta methods are considered. Different features of symmetry are distinguished using reflected and transposed methods. The property of DJ-irreducibility ensures symplectic methods having nonvanishing weights. A characterization of symplectic methods is deduced, from which many attributes of such methods and hints for their construction follow. Order conditions up to order four can be checked easily by simplifying assumptions. For symplectic singly-implicit Runge-Kutta methods the order barrier is shown to be two.
