In numerical mathematics, the gradient discretisation method (GDM) is a framework which contains classical and recent numerical schemes for diffusion problems of various kinds: linear or non-linear, steady-state or time-dependent. The schemes may be conforming or non-conforming, and may rely on very general polygonal or polyhedral meshes (or ...
Partial chronology of FDTD techniques and applications for Maxwell's equations. [5]year event 1928: Courant, Friedrichs, and Lewy (CFL) publish seminal paper with the discovery of conditional stability of explicit time-dependent finite difference schemes, as well as the classic FD scheme for solving second-order wave equation in 1-D and 2-D.

[1] [2] It is generally divided into two subfields: discrete optimization and continuous optimization. Optimization problems arise in all quantitative disciplines from computer science and engineering [3] to operations research and economics, and the development of solution methods has been of interest in mathematics for centuries.

The following two problems demonstrate the finite element method. P1 is a one-dimensional problem : {″ = (,), = =, where is given, is an unknown function of , and ″ is the second derivative of with respect to .
Eq.1 can also be evaluated outside the domain [,], and that extended sequence is -periodic.Accordingly, other sequences of indices are sometimes used, such as [,] (if is even) and [,] (if is odd), which amounts to swapping the left and right halves of the result of the transform.
In mathematics, in the area of numerical analysis, Galerkin methods are a family of methods for converting a continuous operator problem, such as a differential equation, commonly in a weak formulation, to a discrete problem by applying linear constraints determined by finite sets of basis functions.
Figure 1.Comparison of different schemes. In applied mathematics, the central differencing scheme is a finite difference method that optimizes the approximation for the differential operator in the central node of the considered patch and provides numerical solutions to differential equations. [1]
The Crank–Nicolson stencil for a 1D problem. The Crank–Nicolson method is based on the trapezoidal rule, giving second-order convergence in time.For linear equations, the trapezoidal rule is equivalent to the implicit midpoint method [citation needed] —the simplest example of a Gauss–Legendre implicit Runge–Kutta method—which also has the property of being a geometric integrator.
