  2. Damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping

    The effect of varying damping ratio on a second-order system. The damping ratio is a parameter, usually denoted by ζ (Greek letter zeta), [7] that characterizes the frequency response of a second-order ordinary differential equation. It is particularly important in the study of control theory. It is also important in the harmonic oscillator ...

  3. Chaos theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

    Under the right conditions, chaos spontaneously evolves into a lockstep pattern. In the Kuramoto model, four conditions suffice to produce synchronization in a chaotic system. Examples include the coupled oscillation of Christiaan Huygens' pendulums, fireflies, neurons, the London Millennium Bridge resonance, and large arrays of Josephson ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. MUSCL scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUSCL_scheme

    An example of MUSCL type state parabolic-reconstruction. It is possible to extend the idea of linear-extrapolation to higher order reconstruction, and an example is shown in the diagram opposite. However, for this case the left and right states are estimated by interpolation of a second-order, upwind biased, difference equation.

  6. Central composite design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_composite_design

    The design matrix for a central composite design experiment involving k factors is derived from a matrix, d, containing the following three different parts corresponding to the three types of experimental runs: The matrix F obtained from the factorial experiment. The factor levels are scaled so that its entries are coded as +1 and −1.

  7. Møller–Plesset perturbation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Møller–Plesset...

    Møller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP) is one of several quantum chemistry post-Hartree–Fock ab initio methods in the field of computational chemistry.It improves on the Hartree–Fock method by adding electron correlation effects by means of Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory (RS-PT), usually to second (MP2), third (MP3) or fourth (MP4) order.

  8. Forcing function (differential equations) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forcing_function...

    In a system of differential equations used to describe a time-dependent process, a forcing function is a function that appears in the equations and is only a function of time, and not of any of the other variables. [1] [2] In effect, it is a constant for each value of t.

  9. Second-order conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order_conditioning

    An example of second-order conditioning. In classical conditioning, second-order conditioning or higher-order conditioning is a form of learning in which a stimulus is first made meaningful or consequential for an organism through an initial step of learning, and then that stimulus is used as a basis for learning about some new stimulus.
