  2. Riemann sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_sum

    Left and right methods make the approximation using the right and left endpoints of each subinterval, respectively. Upper and lower methods make the approximation using the largest and smallest endpoint values of each subinterval, respectively. The values of the sums converge as the subintervals halve from top-left to bottom-right.

  3. Trapezoidal rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoidal_rule

    The trapezoidal rule may be viewed as the result obtained by averaging the left and right Riemann sums, and is sometimes defined this way. The integral can be even better approximated by partitioning the integration interval , applying the trapezoidal rule to each subinterval, and summing the results.

  4. Rayleigh–Ritz method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh–Ritz_method

    Having found one set (left of right) of approximate singular vectors and singular values by applying naively the Rayleigh–Ritz method to the Hermitian normal matrix or , whichever one is smaller size, one could determine the other set of left of right singular vectors simply by dividing by the singular values, i.e., = / and = /. However, the ...

  5. Interval (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_(mathematics)

    It is said left-open or right-open depending on whether the excluded endpoint is on the left or on the right. These intervals are denoted by mixing notations for open and closed intervals. [ 3 ] For example, (0, 1] means greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1 , while [0, 1) means greater than or equal to 0 and less than 1 .

  6. Simpson's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_rule

    One derivation replaces the integrand () by the quadratic polynomial (i.e. parabola) () that takes the same values as () at the end points and and the midpoint +, where = /.

  7. Five-point stencil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-point_stencil

    An illustration of the five-point stencil in one and two dimensions (top, and bottom, respectively). In numerical analysis, given a square grid in one or two dimensions, the five-point stencil of a point in the grid is a stencil made up of the point itself together with its four "neighbors".

  8. Method of matched asymptotic expansions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_matched...

    An approximation in the form of an asymptotic series is obtained in the transition layer(s) by treating that part of the domain as a separate perturbation problem. This approximation is called the inner solution, and the other is the outer solution, named for their relationship to the transition layer(s). The outer and inner solutions are then ...

  9. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    This x-intercept will typically be a better approximation to the original function's root than the first guess, and the method can be iterated. x n+1 is a better approximation than x n for the root x of the function f (blue curve) If the tangent line to the curve f(x) at x = x n intercepts the x-axis at x n+1 then the slope is
