  2. Closed-form expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-form_expression

    The quadratic formula =. is a closed form of the solutions to the general quadratic equation + + =. More generally, in the context of polynomial equations, a closed form of a solution is a solution in radicals; that is, a closed-form expression for which the allowed functions are only n th-roots and field operations (+,,, /).

  3. Wave equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_equation

    In the last equation of the sequence, the bounds of the integral over the source function have been made explicit. Looking at this solution, which is valid for all choices ( x i , t i ) compatible with the wave equation, it is clear that the first two terms are simply d'Alembert's formula, as stated above as the solution of the homogeneous wave ...

    These tensor fields should obey any relevant physical laws (for example, any electromagnetic field must satisfy Maxwell's equations).Following a standard recipe which is widely used in mathematical physics, these tensor fields should also give rise to specific contributions to the stress–energy tensor. [1]

  5. Explicit and implicit methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_and_implicit_methods

    For such problems, to achieve given accuracy, it takes much less computational time to use an implicit method with larger time steps, even taking into account that one needs to solve an equation of the form (1) at each time step. That said, whether one should use an explicit or implicit method depends upon the problem to be solved.

    Quantity (common name/s) (Common) symbol/s SI units Dimension Number of wave cycles N: dimensionless dimensionless (Oscillatory) displacement Symbol of any quantity which varies periodically, such as h, x, y (mechanical waves), x, s, η (longitudinal waves) I, V, E, B, H, D (electromagnetism), u, U (luminal waves), ψ, Ψ, Φ (quantum mechanics).

  7. Heat equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_equation

    In the anisotropic case where the coefficient matrix A is not scalar and/or if it depends on x, then an explicit formula for the solution of the heat equation can seldom be written down, though it is usually possible to consider the associated abstract Cauchy problem and show that it is a well-posed problem and/or to show some qualitative ...

  8. Chebyshev polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_polynomials

    An explicit form of the Chebyshev polynomial in terms of monomials x k follows from de Moivre's formula: (⁡ ()) = ⁡ (⁡ + ⁡) = ⁡ ((⁡ + ⁡)), where Re denotes the real part of a complex number.

  9. Closed and exact differential forms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_and_exact...

    The form generates the de Rham cohomology group ({}), meaning that any closed form is the sum of an exact form and a multiple of : = + , where = accounts for a non-trivial contour integral around the origin, which is the only obstruction to a closed form on the punctured plane (locally the derivative of a potential function) being the ...
