  2. Shell integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_integration

    The shell method goes as follows: Consider a volume in three dimensions obtained by rotating a cross-section in the xy-plane around the y-axis. Suppose the cross-section is defined by the graph of the positive function f(x) on the interval [a, b]. Then the formula for the volume will be: ()

  3. Convex hull algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_hull_algorithms

    Insertion of a point may increase the number of vertices of a convex hull at most by 1, while deletion may convert an n-vertex convex hull into an n-1-vertex one. The online version may be handled with O(log n) per point, which is asymptotically optimal. The dynamic version may be handled with O(log 2 n) per operation. [1]

  4. Convex hull - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_hull

    The point set itself forms one endpoint of this family of shapes, and its convex hull forms the other endpoint. [41] The convex layers of a point set are a nested family of convex polygons, the outermost of which is the convex hull, with the inner layers constructed recursively from the points that are not vertices of the convex hull. [47]

  5. Tangent half-angle substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_half-angle...

    Finally, as t goes from 1 to +∞, the point follows the part of the circle in the second quadrant from (0, 1) to (−1, 0). Here is another geometric point of view. Draw the unit circle, and let P be the point (−1, 0). A line through P (except the vertical line) is determined by its slope. Furthermore, each of the lines (except the vertical ...

  6. Shell balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_Balance

    To perform a shell balance, follow the following basic steps: Find momentum from shear stress.(Momentum from Shear Stress Into System) - (Momentum from Shear Stress Out of System). Momentum from Shear Stress goes into the shell at y and leaves the system at y + Δy. Shear stress = τ yx, area = A, momentum = τ yx A. Find momentum from the flow.

  7. Shellsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellsort

    Shellsort, also known as Shell sort or Shell's method, is an in-place comparison sort. It can be understood as either a generalization of sorting by exchange (bubble sort) or sorting by insertion (insertion sort). [3] The method starts by sorting pairs of elements far apart from each other, then progressively reducing the gap between elements ...

  8. Disc integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_integration

    Disc integration, also known in integral calculus as the disc method, is a method for calculating the volume of a solid of revolution of a solid-state material when integrating along an axis "parallel" to the axis of revolution. This method models the resulting three-dimensional shape as a stack of an infinite number of discs of varying radius ...

  9. Linear multistep method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_multistep_method

    Linear multistep methods are used for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. Conceptually, a numerical method starts from an initial point and then takes a short step forward in time to find the next solution point. The process continues with subsequent steps to map out the solution.
