  2. Taylor series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

    That is, the Taylor series diverges at x if the distance between x and b is larger than the radius of convergence. The Taylor series can be used to calculate the value of an entire function at every point, if the value of the function, and of all of its derivatives, are known at a single point. Uses of the Taylor series for analytic functions ...

  3. Taylor's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor's_theorem

    The Taylor series of f converges uniformly to the zero function T f (x) = 0, which is analytic with all coefficients equal to zero. The function f is unequal to this Taylor series, and hence non-analytic. For any order k ∈ N and radius r > 0 there exists M k,r > 0 satisfying the remainder bound above.

    The above is obtained using a second order approximation, following the method used in estimating the first moment. It will be a poor approximation in cases where () is highly non-linear. This is a special case of the delta method.

  5. Parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola

    The result is a linear system of three equations, which can be solved by Gaussian elimination or Cramer's rule, for example. An alternative way uses the inscribed angle theorem for parabolas. In the following, the angle of two lines will be measured by the difference of the slopes of the line with respect to the directrix of the parabola.

  6. Real analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_analysis

    A Taylor series of f about point a may diverge, converge at only the point a, converge for all x such that | | < (the largest such R for which convergence is guaranteed is called the radius of convergence), or converge on the entire real line. Even a converging Taylor series may converge to a value different from the value of the function at ...

  7. Linearization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linearization

    The linear approximation of a function is the first order Taylor expansion around the point of interest. In the study of dynamical systems, linearization is a method for assessing the local stability of an equilibrium point of a system of nonlinear differential equations or discrete dynamical systems.

  8. Power series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_series

    In mathematics, a power series (in one variable) is an infinite series of the form = = + + + … where represents the coefficient of the nth term and c is a constant called the center of the series. Power series are useful in mathematical analysis, where they arise as Taylor series of infinitely differentiable functions.

  9. Parabolic partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_partial...

    Equations with < are termed elliptic while those with > are hyperbolic. The name "parabolic" is used because the assumption on the coefficients is the same as the condition for the analytic geometry equation A x 2 + 2 B x y + C y 2 + D x + E y + F = 0 {\displaystyle Ax^{2}+2Bxy+Cy^{2}+Dx+Ey+F=0} to define a planar parabola .
