Kozai cycles integrated using the Hermite integrator with a time-step parameter of η = 0.001. Initial condition was a binary with masses m1 = 1MJup and m2 = 1M⊙ with semimajor axis a1 = 6 AU and eccentricity e1 = 0.001 orbited by a third body of mass m3 = 40MJup at a distance a2 = 100 AU and eccentricity e2 = 0.6. The initial relative inclination was itot = 65°. These initial conditions are identical to Figure 3 of Naoz et al. (2013a). The integration errors in both the energy and the semimajor axis of the inner binary rapidly rise at t ∼ 4 Myr, where the inner binary reaches maximum eccentricity.
