  2. Laplace transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace_transform

    The Laplace transform's key property is that it converts differentiation and integration in the time domain into multiplication and division by s in the Laplace domain. Thus, the Laplace variable s is also known as an operator variable in the Laplace domain: either the derivative operator or (for s −1) the integration operator.

  3. Laplace operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace_operator

    The Laplace–Beltrami operator also can be generalized to an operator (also called the Laplace–Beltrami operator) which operates on tensor fields, by a similar formula. Another generalization of the Laplace operator that is available on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds uses the exterior derivative , in terms of which the "geometer's Laplacian" is ...

    for the first derivative, for the second derivative, for the third derivative, and for the nth derivative. When f is a function of several variables, it is common to use "∂", a stylized cursive lower-case d, rather than "D". As above, the subscripts denote the derivatives that are being taken.

  5. Laplace operators in differential geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace_operators_in...

    The Hodge Laplacian, also known as the Laplace–de Rham operator, is a differential operator acting on differential forms. (Abstractly, it is a second order operator on each exterior power of the cotangent bundle.) This operator is defined on any manifold equipped with a Riemannian- or pseudo-Riemannian metric.

  6. List of Laplace transforms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Laplace_transforms

    The following is a list of Laplace transforms for many common functions of a single variable. [1] The Laplace transform is an integral transform that takes a function of a positive real variable t (often time) to a function of a complex variable s (complex angular frequency ).

  7. Laplace's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace's_equation

    In mathematics and physics, Laplace's equation is a second-order partial differential equation named after Pierre-Simon Laplace, who first studied its properties.This is often written as = or =, where = = is the Laplace operator, [note 1] is the divergence operator (also symbolized "div"), is the gradient operator (also symbolized "grad"), and (,,) is a twice-differentiable real-valued function.

  8. Nine-point stencil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-point_stencil

    It is used to write finite difference approximations to derivatives at grid points. It is an example for numerical differentiation. This stencil is often used to approximate the Laplacian of a function of two variables. An illustration of the nine-point stencil in two dimensions.

  9. Laplace transform applied to differential equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace_transform_applied...

    In mathematics, the Laplace transform is a powerful integral transform used to switch a function from the time domain to the s-domain. The Laplace transform can be used in some cases to solve linear differential equations with given initial conditions. First consider the following property of the Laplace transform:
