  2. Finite-difference time-domain method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-difference_time...

    Partial chronology of FDTD techniques and applications for Maxwell's equations. [5]year event 1928: Courant, Friedrichs, and Lewy (CFL) publish seminal paper with the discovery of conditional stability of explicit time-dependent finite difference schemes, as well as the classic FD scheme for solving second-order wave equation in 1-D and 2-D. [6]

  3. Gradient discretisation method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_discretisation_method

    In numerical mathematics, the gradient discretisation method (GDM) is a framework which contains classical and recent numerical schemes for diffusion problems of various kinds: linear or non-linear, steady-state or time-dependent. The schemes may be conforming or non-conforming, and may rely on very general polygonal or polyhedral meshes (or ...

    Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge — Canada's premier national mathematics competition open to any student with an interest in and grasp of high school math and organised by Canadian Mathematical Society; Canadian Mathematical Olympiad — competition whose top performers represent Canada at the International Mathematical Olympiad

  5. Discrete Fourier transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_Fourier_transform

    In mathematics, the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) converts a finite sequence of equally-spaced samples of a function into a same-length sequence of equally-spaced samples of the discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT), which is a complex-valued function of frequency. The interval at which the DTFT is sampled is the reciprocal of the duration ...

  6. Finite element method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_element_method

    A reasonable criterion in selecting a discretization strategy is to realize nearly optimal performance for the broadest set of mathematical models in a particular model class. Various numerical solution algorithms can be classified into two broad categories; direct and iterative solvers.

  7. Galerkin method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galerkin_method

    In mathematics, in the area of numerical analysis, Galerkin methods are a family of methods for converting a continuous operator problem, such as a differential equation, commonly in a weak formulation, to a discrete problem by applying linear constraints determined by finite sets of basis functions.

  8. 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.

  9. Mathematical optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_optimization

    The special class of concave fractional programs can be transformed to a convex optimization problem. Nonlinear programming studies the general case in which the objective function or the constraints or both contain nonlinear parts. This may or may not be a convex program. In general, whether the program is convex affects the difficulty of ...
