  2. Dirac delta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function

    As another example, consider a distribution in which 6/10 of the time returns a standard normal distribution, and 4/10 of the time returns exactly the value 3.5 (i.e. a partly continuous, partly discrete mixture distribution). The density function of this distribution can be written as

  3. Sellmeier equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sellmeier_equation

    For common optical glasses, the refractive index calculated with the three-term Sellmeier equation deviates from the actual refractive index by less than 5×10 −6 over the wavelengths' range [5] of 365 nm to 2.3 μm, which is of the order of the homogeneity of a glass sample. [6]

  4. Time derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_derivative

    A time derivative is a derivative of a function with respect to time, usually interpreted as the rate of change of the value of the function. [1] The variable denoting time is usually written as t {\displaystyle t} .

  5. Finite difference method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_method

    For example, consider the ordinary differential equation ′ = + The Euler method for solving this equation uses the finite difference quotient (+) ′ to approximate the differential equation by first substituting it for u'(x) then applying a little algebra (multiplying both sides by h, and then adding u(x) to both sides) to get (+) + (() +).

  6. Monte Carlo methods for option pricing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_methods_for...

    The value is defined as the least squares regression against market price of the option value at that state and time (-step). Option value for this regression is defined as the value of exercise possibilities (dependent on market price) plus the value of the timestep value which that exercise would result in (defined in the previous step of the ...

  7. Dirac comb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_comb

    The graph of the Dirac comb function is an infinite series of Dirac delta functions spaced at intervals of T. In mathematics, a Dirac comb (also known as sha function, impulse train or sampling function) is a periodic function with the formula ⁡ := = for some given period . [1]

  8. Backward differentiation formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backward_differentiation...

    The backward differentiation formula (BDF) is a family of implicit methods for the numerical integration of ordinary differential equations.They are linear multistep methods that, for a given function and time, approximate the derivative of that function using information from already computed time points, thereby increasing the accuracy of the approximation.

  9. Gaussian function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_function

    Specifically, if the mass-density at time t=0 is given by a Dirac delta, which essentially means that the mass is initially concentrated in a single point, then the mass-distribution at time t will be given by a Gaussian function, with the parameter a being linearly related to 1/ √ t and c being linearly related to √ t; this time-varying ...
