  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. Generating function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generating_function

    Find recurrence relations for sequences—the form of a generating function may suggest a recurrence formula. Find relationships between sequences—if the generating functions of two sequences have a similar form, then the sequences themselves may be related. Explore the asymptotic behaviour of sequences. Prove identities involving sequences.

  4. 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.

  5. Canonical transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_transformation

    Restricted canonical transformations are coordinate transformations where transformed coordinates Q and P do not have explicit time dependence, i.e., = (,) and = (,).The functional form of Hamilton's equations is ˙ =, ˙ = In general, a transformation (q, p) → (Q, P) does not preserve the form of Hamilton's equations but in the absence of time dependence in transformation, some ...

  6. Symplectic integrator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplectic_integrator

    The time evolution of Hamilton's equations is a symplectomorphism, meaning that it conserves the symplectic 2-form. A numerical scheme is a symplectic integrator if it also conserves this 2-form. Symplectic integrators possess, as a conserved quantity, a Hamiltonian which is slightly perturbed from the original one. [1]

  7. Hermite polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermite_polynomials

    This eigenvalue problem is called the Hermite equation, although the term is also used for the closely related equation ″ ′ =. whose solution is uniquely given in terms of physicist's Hermite polynomials in the form () = (), where denotes a constant, after imposing the boundary condition that u should be polynomially bounded at infinity.

  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. Unitary transformation (quantum mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitary_transformation...

    Therefore, once the Hamiltonian is known, the time dynamics are in principle known. All that remains is to plug the Hamiltonian into the Schrödinger equation and solve for the system state as a function of time. [1] [2] Often, however, the Schrödinger equation is difficult to solve (even with a computer). Therefore, physicists have developed ...
