  2. Numerical stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_stability

    Stability is sometimes achieved by including numerical diffusion. Numerical diffusion is a mathematical term which ensures that roundoff and other errors in the calculation get spread out and do not add up to cause the calculation to "blow up". Von Neumann stability analysis is a commonly used procedure for the stability analysis of finite ...

  3. Condition number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condition_number

    The condition number is a property of the problem. Paired with the problem are any number of algorithms that can be used to solve the problem, that is, to calculate the solution. Some algorithms have a property called backward stability; in general, a backward stable algorithm can be expected to accurately solve well-conditioned problems ...

    Lam reported the correct numerical CFL stability condition for Yee's algorithm by employing von Neumann stability analysis. [8] 1975: Taflove and Brodwin reported the first sinusoidal steady-state FDTD solutions of two- and three-dimensional electromagnetic wave interactions with material structures; [9] and the first bioelectromagnetics models ...

  5. Upwind scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upwind_scheme

    In computational physics, the term advection scheme refers to a class of numerical discretization methods for solving hyperbolic partial differential equations. In the so-called upwind schemes typically, the so-called upstream variables are used to calculate the derivatives in a flow field. That is, derivatives are estimated using a set of data ...

  6. Numerical analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_analysis

    The field of numerical analysis predates the invention of modern computers by many centuries. Linear interpolation was already in use more than 2000 years ago. Many great mathematicians of the past were preoccupied by numerical analysis, [5] as is obvious from the names of important algorithms like Newton's method, Lagrange interpolation polynomial, Gaussian elimination, or Euler's method.

    Big M method — variation of simplex algorithm for problems with both "less than" and "greater than" constraints; Interior point method. Ellipsoid method; Karmarkar's algorithm; Mehrotra predictor–corrector method; Column generation; k-approximation of k-hitting set — algorithm for specific LP problems (to find a weighted hitting set)

  8. Von Neumann stability analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_stability_analysis

    The stability of numerical schemes can be investigated by performing von Neumann stability analysis. For time-dependent problems, stability guarantees that the numerical method produces a bounded solution whenever the solution of the exact differential equation is bounded.

  9. Relaxation (iterative method) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_(iterative_method)

    In numerical mathematics, relaxation methods are iterative methods for solving systems of equations, including nonlinear systems. [1]Relaxation methods were developed for solving large sparse linear systems, which arose as finite-difference discretizations of differential equations.
