  2. Taylor's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor's_theorem

    In calculus, Taylor's theorem gives an approximation of a -times differentiable function around a given point by a polynomial of degree , called the -th-order Taylor polynomial. For a smooth function , the Taylor polynomial is the truncation at the order k {\textstyle k} of the Taylor series of the function.

  3. Fokker–Planck equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker–Planck_equation

    While the Fokker–Planck equation is used with problems where the initial distribution is known, if the problem is to know the distribution at previous times, the Feynman–Kac formula can be used, which is a consequence of the Kolmogorov backward equation.

  4. Abel equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel_equation

    We have the following existence and uniqueness theorem [9]: Theorem B Let h : R → R {\displaystyle h:\mathbb {R} \to \mathbb {R} } be analytic , meaning it has a Taylor expansion. To find: real analytic solutions α : R → C {\displaystyle \alpha :\mathbb {R} \to \mathbb {C} } of the Abel equation α ∘ h = α + 1 {\textstyle \alpha \circ h ...

  5. Free particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_particle

    In physics, a free particle is a particle that, in some sense, is not bound by an external force, or equivalently not in a region where its potential energy varies. In classical physics, this means the particle is present in a "field-free" space.

  6. Itô's lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itô's_lemma

    In mathematics, Itô's lemma or Itô's formula is an identity used in Itô calculus to find the differential of a time-dependent function of a stochastic process. It serves as the stochastic calculus counterpart of the chain rule .

  7. Vorticity equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorticity_equation

    In case of conservative body forces, ∇ × B = 0.; For a barotropic fluid, ∇ρ × ∇p = 0.This is also true for a constant density fluid (including incompressible fluid) where ∇ρ = 0.

  8. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    The formula for the distribution then becomes f ( x ) = τ 2 π e − τ ( x − μ ) 2 / 2 . {\displaystyle f(x)={\sqrt {\frac {\tau }{2\pi }}}e^{-\tau (x-\mu )^{2}/2}.} This choice is claimed to have advantages in numerical computations when σ {\textstyle \sigma } is very close to zero, and simplifies formulas in some contexts, such as in ...

  9. Frenet–Serret formulas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenet–Serret_formulas

    The first Frenet-Serret formula holds by the definition of the normal N and the curvature κ, and the third Frenet-Serret formula holds by the definition of the torsion τ. Thus what is needed is to show the second Frenet-Serret formula. Since T, N, B are orthogonal unit vectors with B = T × N, one also has T = N × B and N = B × T.
