In numerical analysis, Aitken's delta-squared process or Aitken extrapolation is a series acceleration method used for accelerating the rate of convergence of a sequence. It is named after Alexander Aitken, who introduced this method in 1926. [1] It is most useful for accelerating the convergence of a sequence that is converging linearly.
Petrov–Galerkin method (after Georgii I. Petrov [2]) allows using basis functions for orthogonality constraints (called test basis functions) that are different from the basis functions used to approximate the solution. Petrov–Galerkin method can be viewed as an extension of Bubnov–Galerkin method, applying a projection that is not ...
Since Serghides's solution was found to be one of the most accurate approximation of the implicit Colebrook–White equation, Niazkar modified the Serghides's solution to solve directly for the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor f for a full-flowing circular pipe. [17] Niazkar's solution is shown in the following:
This differs from the (standard, or forward) Euler method in that the function is evaluated at the end point of the step, instead of the starting point. The backward Euler method is an implicit method , meaning that the formula for the backward Euler method has y n + 1 {\displaystyle y_{n+1}} on both sides, so when applying the backward Euler ...
The designer of the method chooses the coefficients, balancing the need to get a good approximation to the true solution against the desire to get a method that is easy to apply. Often, many coefficients are zero to simplify the method. One can distinguish between explicit and implicit methods.
The Gauss-Legendre methods are implicit, so in general they cannot be applied exactly. Instead one makes an educated guess of , and then uses Newton's method to converge arbitrarily close to the true solution. Below is a Matlab function which implements the Gauss-Legendre method of order four.
That figure stood at just over $36.1 trillion on December 31, up from $31.4 trillion in June 2023, when the cap was suspended as part of the bipartisan Fiscal Responsibility Act.
The finite volume method (FVM) is a method for representing and evaluating partial differential equations in the form of algebraic equations. [1] In the finite volume method, volume integrals in a partial differential equation that contain a divergence term are converted to surface integrals, using the divergence theorem. These terms are then ...
