The multisymplectic structure for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is presented. Based on the multisymplectic structure, we derive a nine‐point variational integrator from the discrete variational principle and a six‐point multisymplectic integrator from the Preissman multisymplectic scheme. We show that the two integrators are essentially equivalent. Therefore, we call it a multisymplectic variational integrator. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
