  2. Penalty method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penalty_method

    In the above equations, (()) is the exterior penalty function while is the penalty coefficient. When the penalty coefficient is 0, f p = f . In each iteration of the method, we increase the penalty coefficient p {\displaystyle p} (e.g. by a factor of 10), solve the unconstrained problem and use the solution as the initial guess for the next ...

  3. Constrained optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constrained_optimization

    Many constrained optimization algorithms can be adapted to the unconstrained case, often via the use of a penalty method. However, search steps taken by the unconstrained method may be unacceptable for the constrained problem, leading to a lack of convergence. This is referred to as the Maratos effect. [3]

  4. Meshfree methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meshfree_methods

    Then we can use these definitions of (,) and its spatial derivatives to write the equation being simulated as an ordinary differential equation, and simulate the equation with one of many numerical methods. In physical terms, this means calculating the forces between the particles, then integrating these forces over time to determine their motion.

  5. Physics engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_engine

    Penalty methods, where interactions are commonly modelled as mass-spring systems. This type of engine is popular for deformable, or soft-body physics. Constraint based methods, where constraint equations are solved that estimate physical laws. Impulse based methods, where impulses are applied to object interactions. However, this is actually ...

  6. Lagrangian relaxation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_relaxation

    The penalty method does not use dual variables but rather removes the constraints and instead penalizes deviations from the constraint. The method is conceptually simple but usually augmented Lagrangian methods are preferred in practice since the penalty method suffers from ill-conditioning issues.

  7. Drift plus penalty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_plus_penalty

    The drift-plus-penalty method applies to queueing systems that operate in discrete time with time slots t in {0, 1, 2, ...}. First, a non-negative function L(t) is defined as a scalar measure of the state of all queues at time t.

  8. Coefficient of restitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_restitution

    The COR is a property of a pair of objects in a collision, not a single object. If a given object collides with two different objects, each collision has its own COR. When a single object is described as having a given coefficient of restitution, as if it were an intrinsic property without reference to a second object, some assumptions have been made – for example that the collision is with ...

  9. Lagrangian mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_mechanics

    For example, in calculation of the motion of a torus rolling on a horizontal surface with a pearl sliding inside, the time-varying constraint forces like the angular velocity of the torus, motion of the pearl in relation to the torus made it difficult to determine the motion of the torus with Newton's equations.
