  2. Davidon–Fletcher–Powell formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davidon–Fletcher–Powell...

    The Davidon–Fletcher–Powell formula (or DFP; named after William C. Davidon, Roger Fletcher, and Michael J. D. Powell) finds the solution to the secant equation that is closest to the current estimate and satisfies the curvature condition.

    Finally, both lines are plotted on the Ashby chart. Figure 3. Ashby chart with performance indices plotted for maximum result. First, the best bending materials can be found by examining which regions are higher on the graph than the / bending line. In this case, some of the foams (blue) and technical ceramics (pink) are higher than the line.

  4. Effective medium approximations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_medium...

    There are many different effective medium approximations, [5] each of them being more or less accurate in distinct conditions. Nevertheless, they all assume that the macroscopic system is homogeneous and, typical of all mean field theories, they fail to predict the properties of a multiphase medium close to the percolation threshold due to the absence of long-range correlations or critical ...

  5. Trapezoidal rule - Wikipedia

    This can also be seen from the geometric picture: the trapezoids include all of the area under the curve and extend over it. Similarly, a concave-down function yields an underestimate because area is unaccounted for under the curve, but none is counted above. If the interval of the integral being approximated includes an inflection point, the ...

    Composite methods are an approach applied in structural dynamics and related fields. They combine various methods in each time step, in order to acquire the advantages of different methods. They combine various methods in each time step, in order to acquire the advantages of different methods.

  7. Composite Bézier curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_Bézier_curve

    In geometric modelling and in computer graphics, a composite Bézier curve or Bézier spline is a spline made out of Bézier curves that is at least continuous. In other words, a composite Bézier curve is a series of Bézier curves joined end to end where the last point of one curve coincides with the starting point of the next curve.

  8. Central composite design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_composite_design

    The design matrix for a central composite design experiment involving k factors is derived from a matrix, d, containing the following three different parts corresponding to the three types of experimental runs: The matrix F obtained from the factorial experiment. The factor levels are scaled so that its entries are coded as +1 and −1.
