  2. Hybrid difference scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_difference_scheme

    Hybrid difference scheme is a method used in the numerical solution for convection-diffusion problems. These problems play important roles in computational fluid dynamics. It can be described by the general partial equation as follows: [6] (1) Where, is density, is the velocity vector, is the diffusion coefficient and is the source term.

  3. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    For instance, the first counterexample must be odd because f(2n) = n, smaller than 2n; and it must be 3 mod 4 because f 2 (4n + 1) = 3n + 1, smaller than 4n + 1. For each starting value a which is not a counterexample to the Collatz conjecture, there is a k for which such an inequality holds, so checking the Collatz conjecture for one starting ...

  4. Hybrid system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_system

    A hybrid system is a dynamical system that exhibits both continuous and discrete dynamic behavior – a system that can both flow (described by a differential equation) and jump (described by a state machine, automaton, or a difference equation). [ 1 ] Often, the term "hybrid dynamical system" is used instead of "hybrid system", to distinguish ...

  5. Hamiltonian mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamiltonian_mechanics

    t. e. In physics, Hamiltonian mechanics is a reformulation of Lagrangian mechanics that emerged in 1833. Introduced by Sir William Rowan Hamilton, [1] Hamiltonian mechanics replaces (generalized) velocities used in Lagrangian mechanics with (generalized) momenta. Both theories provide interpretations of classical mechanics and describe the same ...

  6. Analytical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytical_mechanics

    e. In theoretical physics and mathematical physics, analytical mechanics, or theoretical mechanics is a collection of closely related formulations of classical mechanics. Analytical mechanics uses scalar properties of motion representing the system as a whole—usually its kinetic energy and potential energy. The equations of motion are derived ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion

    For two elements a 1 + b 1 i + c 1 j + d 1 k and a 2 + b 2 i + c 2 j + d 2 k, their product, called the Hamilton product (a 1 + b 1 i + c 1 j + d 1 k) (a 2 + b 2 i + c 2 j + d 2 k), is determined by the products of the basis elements and the distributive law. The distributive law makes it possible to expand the product so that it is a sum of ...

  8. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    The dynamics of an interconnected system of rigid bodies, Bi, j = 1, ..., M, is formulated by isolating each rigid body and introducing the interaction forces. The resultant of the external and interaction forces on each body, yields the force-torque equations. Newton's formulation yields 6 M equations that define the dynamics of a system of M ...

  9. Game theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_theory

    v. t. e. Game theory is the study of mathematical models of strategic interactions. [ 1 ] It has applications in many fields of social science, and is used extensively in economics, logic, systems science and computer science. [ 2 ] Initially, game theory addressed two-person zero-sum games, in which a participant's gains or losses are exactly ...
