  2. Marching squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marching_squares

    Process each cell in the grid independently. Calculate a cell index using comparisons of the contour level(s) with the data values at the cell corners. Use a pre-built lookup table, keyed on the cell index, to describe the output geometry for the cell. Apply linear interpolation along the boundaries of the cell to calculate the exact contour ...

  3. Correlation function (quantum field theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_function...

    It is often preferable to work directly with these as they contain all the information that the full correlation functions contain since any disconnected diagram is merely a product of connected diagrams. By excluding other sets of diagrams one can define other correlation functions such as one-particle irreducible correlation functions.

  4. Feynman diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_diagram

    The X comes divided by 4! = 4 × 3 × 2, but the number of ways to link up the X half lines to make the diagram is only 4 × 3, so the contribution of this diagram is divided by two. For another example, consider the diagram formed by joining all the half-lines of one X to all the half-lines of another X.

  5. Volume of fluid method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_fluid_method

    It is a scalar function, defined as the integral of a fluid's characteristic function in the control volume, namely the volume of a computational grid cell. The volume fraction of each fluid is tracked through every cell in the computational grid, while all fluids share a single set of momentum equations, i.e. one for each spatial direction.

  6. Propagator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagator

    In quantum field theory, the theory of a free (or non-interacting) scalar field is a useful and simple example which serves to illustrate the concepts needed for more complicated theories. It describes spin-zero particles. There are a number of possible propagators for free scalar field theory. We now describe the most common ones.

  7. Quartic interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_interaction

    Each internal line is represented by a factor 1/(q 2 + m 2), where q is the momentum flowing through that line. Any unconstrained momenta are integrated over all values. The result is divided by a symmetry factor, which is the number of ways the lines and vertices of the graph can be rearranged without changing its connectivity.

  8. Tadpole (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadpole_(physics)

    In quantum field theory, a tadpole is a one-loop Feynman diagram with one external leg, giving a contribution to a one-point correlation function (i.e., the field's vacuum expectation value). One-loop diagrams with a propagator that connects back to its originating vertex are often also referred as tadpoles.

  9. Non-linear sigma model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_sigma_model

    In quantum field theory, a nonlinear σ model describes a field Σ that takes on values in a nonlinear manifold called the target manifold T.The non-linear σ-model was introduced by Gell-Mann & Lévy (1960, §6), who named it after a field corresponding to a spinless meson called σ in their model.
