  2. Codes for electromagnetic scattering by spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codes_for_electromagnetic...

    Codes which calculate exactly electromagnetic scattering by an aggregate of spheres in a single orientation or at an average over individual orientations. 2013 MSTM D. W. Mackowski [19] Fortran Codes which calculate exactly electromagnetic scattering by an aggregate of spheres and spheres within spheres for complex materials.

  3. Five-point stencil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-point_stencil

    An illustration of the five-point stencil in one and two dimensions (top, and bottom, respectively). In numerical analysis, given a square grid in one or two dimensions, the five-point stencil of a point in the grid is a stencil made up of the point itself together with its four "neighbors".

  4. Automatic differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_differentiation

    Reverse accumulation traverses the chain rule from outside to inside, or in the case of the computational graph in Figure 3, from top to bottom. The example function is scalar-valued, and thus there is only one seed for the derivative computation, and only one sweep of the computational graph is needed to calculate the (two-component) gradient.

  5. Derivative code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_code

    The following procedure can be used to easily test if any source code is derivative code or not. Delete the code in question; Build (or compile) the project; If the build process simply replaces the source code which has been deleted, it is (obviously) code which has been derived from something else and is therefore, by definition, derivative code.

  6. Perfectly matched layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfectly_matched_layer

    Fortunately, there is a simple solution in a left-handed medium (for which all waves are backwards): merely flip the sign of σ. A complication, however, is that physical left-handed materials are dispersive : they are only left-handed within a certain frequency range, and therefore the σ coefficient must be made frequency-dependent.

  7. Group-velocity dispersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group-velocity_dispersion

    In optics, group-velocity dispersion (GVD) is a characteristic of a dispersive medium, used most often to determine how the medium affects the duration of an optical pulse traveling through it. Formally, GVD is defined as the derivative of the inverse of group velocity of light in a material with respect to angular frequency, [1] [2]

  8. Grünwald–Letnikov derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grünwald–Letnikov...

    In mathematics, the Grünwald–Letnikov derivative is a basic extension of the derivative in fractional calculus that allows one to take the derivative a non-integer number of times. It was introduced by Anton Karl Grünwald (1838–1920) from Prague , in 1867, and by Aleksey Vasilievich Letnikov (1837–1888) in Moscow in 1868.

  9. Calculus of variations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_of_Variations

    A simple example of such a problem is to find the curve of shortest length connecting two points. If there are no constraints, the solution is a straight line between the points. However, if the curve is constrained to lie on a surface in space, then the solution is less obvious, and possibly many solutions may exist.
