  2. Finite difference coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_coefficient

    To get the coefficients of the backward approximations from those of the forward ones, give all odd derivatives listed in the table in the previous section the opposite sign, whereas for even derivatives the signs stay the same.

  3. Five-point stencil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-point_stencil

    An illustration of the five-point stencil in one and two dimensions (top, and bottom, respectively). In numerical analysis, given a square grid in one or two dimensions, the five-point stencil of a point in the grid is a stencil made up of the point itself together with its four "neighbors".

  4. Derivative code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_code

    The following procedure can be used to easily test if any source code is derivative code or not. Delete the code in question; Build (or compile) the project; If the build process simply replaces the source code which has been deleted, it is (obviously) code which has been derived from something else and is therefore, by definition, derivative code.

  5. Calculus of variations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_of_Variations

    A simple example of such a problem is to find the curve of shortest length connecting two points. If there are no constraints, the solution is a straight line between the points. However, if the curve is constrained to lie on a surface in space, then the solution is less obvious, and possibly many solutions may exist.

    Name Dim Equation Applications Landau–Lifshitz model: 1+n = + Magnetic field in solids Lin–Tsien equation: 1+2 + = Liouville equation: any + = Liouville–Bratu–Gelfand equation

  7. Matrix calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_calculus

    In mathematics, matrix calculus is a specialized notation for doing multivariable calculus, especially over spaces of matrices.It collects the various partial derivatives of a single function with respect to many variables, and/or of a multivariate function with respect to a single variable, into vectors and matrices that can be treated as single entities.

  8. Finite difference methods for option pricing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_methods...

    The approach arises since the evolution of the option value can be modelled via a partial differential equation (PDE), as a function of (at least) time and price of underlying; see for example the Black–Scholes PDE. Once in this form, a finite difference model can be derived, and the valuation obtained. [2]

  9. Distribution (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_(mathematics)

    Examples of the latter include the Dirac delta function and distributions defined to act by integration of test functions against certain measures on . Nonetheless, it is still always possible to reduce any arbitrary distribution down to a simpler family of related distributions that do arise via such actions of integration.
