arXiv:2603.16424v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Parallel simulation of robotic systems requires partitioning the dynamics into coupled subsystems. Finite-iteration coupling across the partition boundary can inject spurious energy, even when each subsystem is passive. We propose an early-terminable, energy-safe coupling interface for port-Hamiltonian subsystems based on Douglas--Rachford splitting in wave (scattering) coordinates. The wave-domain formulation reduces passivity to norm inequalities and coupling to orthogonality. Within this setting, the deep correspondence between monotone operator theory and discrete passivity can be exploited to construct a Douglas--Rachford inner iteration whose Fej\'er monotonicity provides algorithmic dissipation. Under passivity of the subsystem integrators and an impedance-tuning condition, the proposed method guarantees discrete passivity of the augmented storage for any finite inner-iteration budget and converges to the monolithic discretization as the budget increases. Experiments on a linear--Duffing coupled-oscillator benchmark support the finite-iteration energy inequality at numerical roundoff (1e-14 in double precision), with state-error metrics decreasing over the tested inner-iteration budgets.
