2. Linear equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

   Conversely, every line is the set of all solutions of a linear equation. The phrase "linear equation" takes its origin in this correspondence between lines and equations: a linear equation in two variables is an equation whose solutions form a line. If b ≠ 0, the line is the graph of the function of x that has been defined in the preceding ...

3. Iterative method - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_method

   In the absence of rounding errors, direct methods would deliver an exact solution (for example, solving a linear system of equations = by Gaussian elimination). Iterative methods are often the only choice for nonlinear equations. However, iterative methods are often useful even for linear problems involving many variables (sometimes on the ...

4. Relaxation (iterative method) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_(iterative_method)

   These equations describe boundary-value problems, in which the solution-function's values are specified on boundary of a domain; the problem is to compute a solution also on its interior. Relaxation methods are used to solve the linear equations resulting from a discretization of the differential equation, for example by finite differences. [2 ...

5. Fixed-point iteration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_iteration

   In numerical analysis, fixed-point iteration is a method of computing fixed points of a function.. More specifically, given a function defined on the real numbers with real values and given a point in the domain of , the fixed-point iteration is + = (), =,,, … which gives rise to the sequence,,, … of iterated function applications , (), (()), … which is hoped to converge to a point .

6. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

   The simplest method for solving a system of linear equations is to repeatedly eliminate variables. This method can be described as follows: In the first equation, solve for one of the variables in terms of the others. Substitute this expression into the remaining equations. This yields a system of equations with one fewer equation and unknown.

7. Gauss–Seidel method - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Seidel_method

   In numerical linear algebra, the Gauss–Seidel method, also known as the Liebmann method or the method of successive displacement, is an iterative method used to solve a system of linear equations. It is named after the German mathematicians Carl Friedrich Gauss and Philipp Ludwig von Seidel .
