When numerically integrating canonical Hamiltonian systems, the long-term conservation of some of its invariants, among which the Hamiltonian function itself, assumes a central role. The classical approach to this problem has led to the definition of symplectic methods, among which we mention Gauss-Legendre collocation formulae. Indeed, in the continuous setting, energy conservation is derived from symplecticity via an infinite number of infinitesimal contact transformations. However, this infinite process cannot be directly transferred to the discrete setting. By following a different approach, in this paper we describe a sequence of methods, sharing the same essential spectrum (and, then, the same essential properties), which are energy preserving starting from a certain element of the sequence on, i.e., after a finite number of steps.
