    Numerical computation of null space — find all solutions of an underdetermined system; Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse — for finding solution with smallest 2-norm (for underdetermined systems) or smallest residual; Sparse approximation — for finding the sparsest solution (i.e., the solution with as many zeros as possible)

  3. Problem solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_solving

    Problem solving in psychology refers to the process of finding solutions to problems encountered in life. [5] Solutions to these problems are usually situation- or context-specific. The process starts with problem finding and problem shaping, in which the problem is discovered and simplified. The next step is to generate possible solutions and ...

  4. Heuristic (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic_(computer_science)

    In mathematical optimization and computer science, heuristic (from Greek εὑρίσκω "I find, discover" [1]) is a technique designed for problem solving more quickly when classic methods are too slow for finding an exact or approximate solution, or when classic methods fail to find any exact solution in a search space.

  5. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    Depending on the context, solving an equation may consist to find either any solution (finding a single solution is enough), all solutions, or a solution that satisfies further properties, such as belonging to a given interval. When the task is to find the solution that is the best under some criterion, this is an optimization problem. Solving ...

  6. Problem finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_finding

    Problem finding requires intellectual vision and insight into what is missing. Problem finding plays a major role in application of creativity. [1] Different terms have been used for problem finding in literature including problem discovery, problem formulation, problem identification, problem construction, and problem posing.

  7. Creative problem-solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_problem-solving

    Creative problem-solving (CPS) [1] is the mental process of searching for an original and previously unknown solution to a problem. To qualify, the solution must be novel and reached independently. [1] [2] The creative problem-solving process was originally developed by Alex Osborn and Sid Parnes. Creative problem solving (CPS) is a way of ...

  8. Shooting method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_method

    In numerical analysis, the shooting method is a method for solving a boundary value problem by reducing it to an initial value problem.It involves finding solutions to the initial value problem for different initial conditions until one finds the solution that also satisfies the boundary conditions of the boundary value problem.

  9. Ansatz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansatz

    In physics and mathematics, an ansatz (/ ˈ æ n s æ t s /; German: ⓘ, meaning: "initial placement of a tool at a work piece", plural ansatzes [1] or, from German, ansätze / ˈ æ n s ɛ t s ə /; German: [ˈʔanzɛtsə] ⓘ) is an educated guess or an additional assumption made to help solve a problem, and which may later be verified to be part of the solution by its results.
