  2. Taylor's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor's_theorem

    In calculus, Taylor's theorem gives an approximation of a -times differentiable function around a given point by a polynomial of degree , called the -th-order Taylor polynomial. For a smooth function , the Taylor polynomial is the truncation at the order k {\textstyle k} of the Taylor series of the function.

  3. Taylor series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

    That is, the Taylor series diverges at x if the distance between x and b is larger than the radius of convergence. The Taylor series can be used to calculate the value of an entire function at every point, if the value of the function, and of all of its derivatives, are known at a single point. Uses of the Taylor series for analytic functions ...

  4. Stencil (numerical analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stencil_(numerical_analysis)

    The finite difference coefficients for a given stencil are fixed by the choice of node points. The coefficients may be calculated by taking the derivative of the Lagrange polynomial interpolating between the node points, [3] by computing the Taylor expansion around each node point and solving a linear system, [4] or by enforcing that the stencil is exact for monomials up to the degree of the ...

  5. Radius of convergence - Wikipedia

    Consequently the singular points of this function occur at z = a nonzero integer multiple of 2 π i. The singularities nearest 0, which is the center of the power series expansion, are at ±2 π i. The distance from the center to either of those points is 2 π, so the radius of convergence is 2 π.

  6. Linearization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linearization

    The linear approximation of a function is the first order Taylor expansion around the point of interest. In the study of dynamical systems, linearization is a method for assessing the local stability of an equilibrium point of a system of nonlinear differential equations or discrete dynamical systems. [1]

  7. Linear approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_approximation

    Linear approximations in this case are further improved when the second derivative of a, ″ (), is sufficiently small (close to zero) (i.e., at or near an inflection point). If f {\displaystyle f} is concave down in the interval between x {\displaystyle x} and a {\displaystyle a} , the approximation will be an overestimate (since the ...

    Any non-linear differentiable function, (,), of two variables, and , can be expanded as + +. If we take the variance on both sides and use the formula [11] for the variance of a linear combination of variables ⁡ (+) = ⁡ + ⁡ + ⁡ (,), then we obtain | | + | | +, where is the standard deviation of the function , is the standard deviation of , is the standard deviation of and = is the ...
