geometry started in Vermeeren et al.(J Phys A 52 (44): 445206, 2019), in particular, we
introduce a discrete Herglotz Principle and the corresponding discrete Herglotz Equations
for a discrete Lagrangian in the contact setting. This allows us to develop convenient
numerical integrators for contact Lagrangian systems that are conformally contact by
construction. The existence of an exact Lagrangian function is also discussed.
