  2. L-stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-stability

    Within mathematics regarding differential equations, L-stability is a special case of A-stability, a property of Runge–Kutta methods for solving ordinary differential equations. A method is L-stable if it is A-stable and () as , where is the stability function of the method (the stability function of a Runge–Kutta method is a rational ...

  3. Stable distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_distribution

    For = and =, the distribution is a Landau distribution (L) which has a specific usage in physics under this name. For α = 3 / 2 {\displaystyle \alpha =3/2} and β = 0 {\displaystyle \beta =0} the distribution reduces to a Holtsmark distribution with scale parameter c and shift parameter μ .

  4. Stability theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_theory

    In mathematics, stability theory addresses the stability of solutions of differential equations and of trajectories of dynamical systems under small perturbations of initial conditions. The heat equation , for example, is a stable partial differential equation because small perturbations of initial data lead to small variations in temperature ...

  5. Euler–Lagrange equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Lagrange_equation

    The Euler–Lagrange equation was developed in connection with their studies of the tautochrone problem. The Euler–Lagrange equation was developed in the 1750s by Euler and Lagrange in connection with their studies of the tautochrone problem. This is the problem of determining a curve on which a weighted particle will fall to a fixed point in ...

  6. Valley of stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_stability

    For this reason, the valley of stability does not follow the line Z = N for A larger than 40 (Z = 20 is the element calcium). [3] Neutron number increases along the line of beta stability at a faster rate than atomic number. The line of beta stability follows a particular curve of neutron–proton ratio, corresponding to the most stable ...

    : azimuthal quantum number: unitless magnetization: ampere per meter (A/m) moment of force often simply called moment or torque newton meter (N⋅m) mass: kilogram (kg) normal vector unit varies depending on context atomic number: unitless

  8. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    This formula was derived in 1744 by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler. [2] The column will remain straight for loads less than the critical load. The critical load is the greatest load that will not cause lateral deflection (buckling). For loads greater than the critical load, the column will deflect laterally.

  9. Structural stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_stability

    Unlike Lyapunov stability, which considers perturbations of initial conditions for a fixed system, structural stability deals with perturbations of the system itself. Variants of this notion apply to systems of ordinary differential equations , vector fields on smooth manifolds and flows generated by them, and diffeomorphisms .
