  2. Rate equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_equation

    A common form for the rate equation is a power law: [6] = [] [] The constant ⁠ ⁠ is called the rate constant.The exponents, which can be fractional, [6] are called partial orders of reaction and their sum is the overall order of reaction.

  3. Order of approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_approximation

    The zero of "zeroth-order" represents the fact that even the only number given, "a few", is itself loosely defined. A zeroth-order approximation of a function (that is, mathematically determining a formula to fit multiple data points) will be constant, or a flat line with no slope: a polynomial of degree 0. For example,

  4. Perturbation theory (quantum mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perturbation_theory...

    Expanding this equation and comparing coefficients of each power of λ results in an infinite series of simultaneous equations. The zeroth-order equation is simply the Schrödinger equation for the unperturbed system, | = | .

  5. Finite difference method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_method

    For example, consider the ordinary differential equation ′ = + The Euler method for solving this equation uses the finite difference quotient (+) ′ to approximate the differential equation by first substituting it for u'(x) then applying a little algebra (multiplying both sides by h, and then adding u(x) to both sides) to get (+) + (() +).

  6. Laws of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics

    The law may be stated in the following form: If two systems are both in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. [4] Though this version of the law is one of the most commonly stated versions, it is only one of a diversity of statements that are labeled as "the zeroth law".

  7. Zero order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_order

    Zero order reaction. Zero-order process (statistics), a sequence of random variables, each independent of the previous ones; Zero order process (chemistry), a chemical reaction in which the rate of change of concentration is independent of the concentrations; Zeroth-order approximation, an approximation of a function by a constant

  8. Zeroth-order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroth-order

    Zeroth-order may refer to: Zeroth-order approximation, a rough approximation; Zeroth-order logic, is first-order logic without variables or quantifiers; See also.

  9. Perturbation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perturbation_theory

    The zero-order energy is the sum of orbital energies. The first-order energy is the Hartree–Fock energy and electron correlation is included at second-order or higher. Calculations to second, third or fourth order are very common and the code is included in most ab initio quantum chemistry programs.
