  2. Riemann solver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_solver

    Generally speaking, Riemann solvers are specific methods for computing the numerical flux across a discontinuity in the Riemann problem. [1] They form an important part of high-resolution schemes; typically the right and left states for the Riemann problem are calculated using some form of nonlinear reconstruction, such as a flux limiter or a WENO method, and then used as the input for the ...

  3. Viète's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viète's_formula

    Viète obtained his formula by comparing the areas of regular polygons with 2 n and 2 n + 1 sides inscribed in a circle. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The first term in the product, 2 / 2 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {2}}/2} , is the ratio of areas of a square and an octagon , the second term is the ratio of areas of an octagon and a hexadecagon , etc.

  4. Rosenbrock methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenbrock_methods

    Rosenbrock methods for stiff differential equations are a family of single-step methods for solving ordinary differential equations. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They are related to the implicit Runge–Kutta methods [ 3 ] and are also known as Kaps–Rentrop methods.

  6. Logarithmic decrement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_decrement

    The logarithmic decrement can be obtained e.g. as ln(x 1 /x 3).Logarithmic decrement, , is used to find the damping ratio of an underdamped system in the time domain.. The method of logarithmic decrement becomes less and less precise as the damping ratio increases past about 0.5; it does not apply at all for a damping ratio greater than 1.0 because the system is overdamped.

  7. Separation of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_variables

    The method of separation of variables is also used to solve a wide range of linear partial differential equations with boundary and initial conditions, such as the heat equation, wave equation, Laplace equation, Helmholtz equation and biharmonic equation. The analytical method of separation of variables for solving partial differential ...

  8. Golden ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

    The golden ratio φ and its negative reciprocal −φ −1 are the two roots of the quadratic polynomial x 2 − x − 1. The golden ratio's negative −φ and reciprocal φ −1 are the two roots of the quadratic polynomial x 2 + x − 1. The golden ratio is also an algebraic number and even an algebraic integer.

  9. Pseudo-spectral method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-spectral_method

    Pseudo-spectral methods, [1] also known as discrete variable representation (DVR) methods, are a class of numerical methods used in applied mathematics and scientific computing for the solution of partial differential equations.
