  2. MacCormack method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacCormack_method

    The application of MacCormack method to the above equation proceeds in two steps; a predictor step which is followed by a corrector step. Predictor step: In the predictor step, a "provisional" value of u {\displaystyle u} at time level n + 1 {\displaystyle n+1} (denoted by u i p {\displaystyle u_{i}^{p}} ) is estimated as follows

  3. Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_Methods_for...

    Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering the development and analysis of new methods for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. It was established in 1985 and is published by John Wiley & Sons.

  4. Partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_differential_equation

    In mathematics, a partial differential equation (PDE) is an equation which involves a multivariable function and one or more of its partial derivatives.. The function is often thought of as an "unknown" that solves the equation, similar to how x is thought of as an unknown number solving, e.g., an algebraic equation like x 2 − 3x + 2 = 0.

  5. Method of characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_characteristics

    Typically, it applies to first-order equations, though in general characteristic curves can also be found for hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equation. The method is to reduce a partial differential equation (PDE) to a family of ordinary differential equations (ODE) along which the solution can be integrated from some initial data ...

  6. Stencil (numerical analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stencil_(numerical_analysis)

    The Crank–Nicolson stencil for a 1D problem. In mathematics, especially the areas of numerical analysis concentrating on the numerical solution of partial differential equations, a stencil is a geometric arrangement of a nodal group that relate to the point of interest by using a numerical approximation routine.

  7. Collocation method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collocation_method

    In mathematics, a collocation method is a method for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and integral equations.The idea is to choose a finite-dimensional space of candidate solutions (usually polynomials up to a certain degree) and a number of points in the domain (called collocation points), and to select that solution which satisfies the ...

  8. Lax–Friedrichs method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lax–Friedrichs_method

    The Lax–Friedrichs method, named after Peter Lax and Kurt O. Friedrichs, is a numerical method for the solution of hyperbolic partial differential equations based on finite differences. The method can be described as the FTCS (forward in time, centered in space) scheme with a numerical dissipation term of 1/2.

  9. Spectral method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_method

    Spectral methods can be used to solve differential equations (PDEs, ODEs, eigenvalue, etc) and optimization problems. When applying spectral methods to time-dependent PDEs, the solution is typically written as a sum of basis functions with time-dependent coefficients; substituting this in the PDE yields a system of ODEs in the coefficients ...
