  2. Newton's method in optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method_in...

    The geometric interpretation of Newton's method is that at each iteration, it amounts to the fitting of a parabola to the graph of () at the trial value , having the same slope and curvature as the graph at that point, and then proceeding to the maximum or minimum of that parabola (in higher dimensions, this may also be a saddle point), see below.

  3. Successive parabolic interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successive_parabolic...

    Successive parabolic interpolation is a technique for finding the extremum (minimum or maximum) of a continuous unimodal function by successively fitting parabolas (polynomials of degree two) to a function of one variable at three unique points or, in general, a function of n variables at 1+n(n+3)/2 points, and at each iteration replacing the "oldest" point with the extremum of the fitted ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola_of_safety

    Maximum height can be calculated by absolute value of in standard form of parabola. It is given as H = | c | = u 2 2 g {\displaystyle H=|c|={\frac {u^{2}}{2g}}} Range ( R {\displaystyle R} ) of the projectile can be calculated by the value of latus rectum of the parabola given shooting to the same level.

  5. Linear multistep method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_multistep_method

    Linear multistep methods are used for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations.Conceptually, a numerical method starts from an initial point and then takes a short step forward in time to find the next solution point.

  6. Curve fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_fitting

    Fitting of a noisy curve by an asymmetrical peak model, with an iterative process (Gauss–Newton algorithm with variable damping factor α).Curve fitting [1] [2] is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical function, that has the best fit to a series of data points, [3] possibly subject to constraints.

  7. Standard step method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Step_Method

    To find the length of the gradually varied flow transitions, iterate the “step length”, instead of height, at the boundary condition height until equations 4 and 5 agree. (e.g. For an M1 Profile, position 1 would be the downstream condition and you would solve for position two where the height is equal to normal depth.)

  8. MacCormack method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacCormack_method

    The application of MacCormack method to the above equation proceeds in two steps; a predictor step which is followed by a corrector step. Predictor step: In the predictor step, a "provisional" value of u {\displaystyle u} at time level n + 1 {\displaystyle n+1} (denoted by u i p {\displaystyle u_{i}^{p}} ) is estimated as follows

  9. Crank–Nicolson method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crank–Nicolson_method

    The Crank–Nicolson stencil for a 1D problem. The Crank–Nicolson method is based on the trapezoidal rule, giving second-order convergence in time.For linear equations, the trapezoidal rule is equivalent to the implicit midpoint method [citation needed] —the simplest example of a Gauss–Legendre implicit Runge–Kutta method—which also has the property of being a geometric integrator.
