  2. Unit of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    One trillionth of a second. nanosecond: 10 −9 s: One billionth of a second. Time for molecules to fluoresce. shake: 10 −8 s: 10 nanoseconds, also a casual term for a short period of time. microsecond: 10 −6 s: One millionth of a second. Symbol is μs millisecond: 10 −3 s: One thousandth of a second. Shortest time unit used on ...

  3. Bilinear transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilinear_transform

    The bilinear transform is a first-order Padé approximant of the natural logarithm function that is an exact mapping of the z-plane to the s-plane.When the Laplace transform is performed on a discrete-time signal (with each element of the discrete-time sequence attached to a correspondingly delayed unit impulse), the result is precisely the Z transform of the discrete-time sequence with the ...

  4. Van der Pol oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Pol_oscillator

    Note the above Hamiltonian approach with an auxiliary second-order equation produces unbounded phase-space trajectories and hence cannot be used to quantize the van der Pol oscillator. In the limit of weak nonlinearity (i.e. μ→0) the van der Pol oscillator reduces to the Stuart–Landau equation. The Stuart–Landau equation in fact ...

  5. Crank–Nicolson method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crank–Nicolson_method

    The Crank–Nicolson stencil for a 1D problem. The Crank–Nicolson method is based on the trapezoidal rule, giving second-order convergence in time.For linear equations, the trapezoidal rule is equivalent to the implicit midpoint method [citation needed] —the simplest example of a Gauss–Legendre implicit Runge–Kutta method—which also has the property of being a geometric integrator.

  6. Telegrapher's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegrapher's_equations

    The telegrapher's equations then describe the relationship between the voltage V and the current I along the transmission line, each of which is a function of position x and time t: = (,) = (,) The equations themselves consist of a pair of coupled, first-order, partial differential equations. The first equation shows that the induced voltage is ...

  7. Master equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_equation

    A master equation may be used to model a set of chemical reactions when the number of molecules of one or more species is small (of the order of 100 or 1000 molecules). [4] The chemical master equation can also solved for the very large models, such as the DNA damage signal from fungal pathogen Candida albicans. [5]

  8. Orders of magnitude (time) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(time)

    An order of magnitude of time is usually a decimal prefix or decimal order-of-magnitude quantity together with a base unit of time, like a microsecond or a million years. In some cases, the order of magnitude may be implied (usually 1), like a "second" or "year". In other cases, the quantity name implies the base unit, like "century". In most ...

  9. Temporal discretization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_discretization

    In applied physics and engineering, temporal discretization is a mathematical technique for solving transient problems, such as flow problems.. Transient problems are often solved using computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulations, which require discretizing the governing equations in both space and time.
