  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

    Several methods have been developed to impose the essential boundary conditions weakly, including Lagrange multipliers, Nitche's method, and the penalty method. As for quadrature , nodal integration is generally preferred which offers simplicity, efficiency, and keeps the meshfree method free of any mesh (as opposed to using Gauss quadrature ...

  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. 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.

  7. Replica trick - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replica_trick

    The cavity method is an alternative method, often of simpler use than the replica method, for studying disordered mean-field problems. It has been devised to deal with models on locally tree-like graphs. Another alternative method is the supersymmetric method. The use of the supersymmetry method provides a mathematical rigorous alternative to ...

  8. Perturbation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perturbation_theory

    Perturbation theory has been used in a large number of different settings in physics and applied mathematics. Examples of the "collection of equations" include algebraic equations, [6] differential equations [7] (e.g., the equations of motion [8] and commonly wave equations), thermodynamic free energy in statistical mechanics, radiative ...

  9. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws are often stated in terms of point or particle masses, that is, bodies whose volume is negligible. This is a reasonable approximation for real bodies when the motion of internal parts can be neglected, and when the separation between bodies is much larger than the size of each.
