  2. Riemann sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_sum

    Specific choices of give different types of Riemann sums: . If = for all i, the method is the left rule [2] [3] and gives a left Riemann sum.; If = for all i, the method is the right rule [2] [3] and gives a right Riemann sum.

  3. Trapezoidal rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoidal_rule

    The trapezoidal rule may be viewed as the result obtained by averaging the left and right Riemann sums, and is sometimes defined this way. The integral can be even better approximated by partitioning the integration interval, applying the trapezoidal rule to each subinterval, and summing the results. In practice, this "chained" (or "composite ...

  4. Riemann integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_integral

    One popular restriction is the use of "left-hand" and "right-hand" Riemann sums. In a left-hand Riemann sum, t i = x i for all i, and in a right-hand Riemann sum, t i = x i + 1 for all i. Alone this restriction does not impose a problem: we can refine any partition in a way that makes it a left-hand or right-hand sum by subdividing it at each t i.

  5. Integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral

    A Riemann sum of a function f with respect to such a tagged partition is defined as ∑ i = 1 n f ( t i ) Δ i ; {\displaystyle \sum _{i=1}^{n}f(t_{i})\,\Delta _{i};} thus each term of the sum is the area of a rectangle with height equal to the function value at the chosen point of the given sub-interval, and width the same as the width of sub ...

  6. Abel's summation formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel's_summation_formula

    Abel's summation formula can be generalized to the case where is only assumed to be continuous if the integral is interpreted as a Riemann–Stieltjes integral: ∑ x < n ≤ y a n ϕ ( n ) = A ( y ) ϕ ( y ) − A ( x ) ϕ ( x ) − ∫ x y A ( u ) d ϕ ( u ) . {\displaystyle \sum _{x<n\leq y}a_{n}\phi (n)=A(y)\phi (y)-A(x)\phi (x)-\int _{x ...

  7. 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 ...

    In the case of Thompson Academy, the state renewed YSI’s deal even though documents showed that 96 percent of staff had left the facility and eight confirmed cases of child abuse had emerged there over the previous year. The company has continued to win other contracts while using its successful proposal for Thompson as a template.

  9. Partition of an interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_an_interval

    A partition of an interval being used in a Riemann sum. The partition itself is shown in grey at the bottom, with the norm of the partition indicated in red. In mathematics, a partition of an interval [a, b] on the real line is a finite sequence x 0, x 1, x 2, …, x n of real numbers such that a = x 0 < x 1 < x 2 < … < x n = b.
