  2. Numerov's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerov's_method

    Numerov's method (also called Cowell's method) is a numerical method to solve ordinary differential equations of second order in which the first-order term does not appear. It is a fourth-order linear multistep method. The method is implicit, but can be made explicit if the differential equation is linear.

  3. Double integrator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_integrator

    Feedback system with a PD controller and a double integrator plant In systems and control theory , the double integrator is a canonical example of a second-order control system. [ 1 ] It models the dynamics of a simple mass in one-dimensional space under the effect of a time-varying force input u {\displaystyle {\textbf {u}}} .

  4. Settling time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Settling_time

    Settling time depends on the system response and natural frequency. The settling time for a second order , underdamped system responding to a step response can be approximated if the damping ratio ζ ≪ 1 {\displaystyle \zeta \ll 1} by T s = − ln ⁡ ( tolerance fraction ) damping ratio × natural freq {\displaystyle T_{s}=-{\frac {\ln ...

  5. Symplectic integrator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplectic_integrator

    The Verlet method is the second-order integrator with = and coefficients =, =, = =. Since c 1 = 0 {\displaystyle c_{1}=0} , the algorithm above is symmetric in time. There are 3 steps to the algorithm, and step 1 and 3 are exactly the same, so the positive time version can be used for negative time.

  6. Second-order arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order_arithmetic

    A subsystem of second-order arithmetic is a theory in the language of second-order arithmetic each axiom of which is a theorem of full second-order arithmetic (Z 2). Such subsystems are essential to reverse mathematics , a research program investigating how much of classical mathematics can be derived in certain weak subsystems of varying strength.

  7. Minimal realization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_realization

    [1] [2] The realization is called "minimal" because it describes the system with the minimum number of states. [2] The minimum number of state variables required to describe a system equals the order of the differential equation; [3] more state variables than the minimum can be defined. For example, a second order system can be defined by two ...

  8. Newmark-beta method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newmark-beta_method

    It is widely used in numerical evaluation of the dynamic response of structures and solids such as in finite element analysis to model dynamic systems. The method is named after Nathan M. Newmark , [ 1 ] former Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign , who developed it in 1959 for use in structural ...

  9. Reverse mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_mathematics

    The higher-order counterparts of the major subsystems of second-order arithmetic generally prove the same second-order sentences (or a large subset) as the original second-order systems. [5] For instance, the base theory of higher-order reverse mathematics, called RCA ω 0, proves the same sentences as RCA 0, up to language.
