  2. Galerkin method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galerkin_method

    Ritz–Galerkin method (after Walther Ritz) typically assumes symmetric and positive definite bilinear form in the weak formulation, where the differential equation for a physical system can be formulated via minimization of a quadratic function representing the system energy and the approximate solution is a linear combination of the given set ...

  3. Kernel (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(linear_algebra)

    The kernel of this linear map is the set of solutions to the equation Ax = 0, where 0 is understood as the zero vector. The dimension of the kernel of A is called the nullity of A . In set-builder notation , N ⁡ ( A ) = Null ⁡ ( A ) = ker ⁡ ( A ) = { x ∈ K n ∣ A x = 0 } . {\displaystyle \operatorname {N} (A)=\operatorname {Null} (A ...

  4. Branch and bound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_and_bound

    The following is the skeleton of a generic branch and bound algorithm for minimizing an arbitrary objective function f. [3] To obtain an actual algorithm from this, one requires a bounding function bound, that computes lower bounds of f on nodes of the search tree, as well as a problem-specific branching rule.

  5. Variable neighborhood search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_neighborhood_search

    Variable neighborhood search (VNS), [1] proposed by Mladenović & Hansen in 1997, [2] is a metaheuristic method for solving a set of combinatorial optimization and global optimization problems. It explores distant neighborhoods of the current incumbent solution, and moves from there to a new one if and only if an improvement was made.

  6. Linear programming relaxation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_programming_relaxation

    However, there is a fractional solution in which each set is assigned the weight 1/2, and for which the total value of the objective function is 3/2. Thus, in this example, the linear programming relaxation has a value differing from that of the unrelaxed 01 integer program.

  7. Linear dynamical system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_dynamical_system

    While dynamical systems, in general, do not have closed-form solutions, linear dynamical systems can be solved exactly, and they have a rich set of mathematical properties. Linear systems can also be used to understand the qualitative behavior of general dynamical systems, by calculating the equilibrium points of the system and approximating it ...

  8. Markov chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain

    Numerous queueing models use continuous-time Markov chains. For example, an M/M/1 queue is a CTMC on the non-negative integers where upward transitions from i to i + 1 occur at rate λ according to a Poisson process and describe job arrivals, while transitions from i to i – 1 (for i > 1) occur at rate μ (job service times are exponentially ...

  9. Minkowski functional - Wikipedia

    The next example shows that the containment can be proper when =; the example may be generalized to any real > Assuming that [ 0 , 1 ] K ⊆ K , {\textstyle [0,1]K\subseteq K,} the following example is representative of how it happens that x ∈ X {\textstyle x\in X} satisfies p K ( x ) = 1 {\textstyle p_{K}(x)=1} but x ∉ ( 0 , 1 ] K ...
