  2. Actinide contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinoid_contraction

    It is more pronounced than the lanthanide contraction because the 5f electrons are less effective at shielding than 4f electrons. [1] It is caused by the poor shielding effect of nuclear charge by the 5f electrons along with the expected periodic trend of increasing electronegativity and nuclear charge on moving from left to right.

  3. Simplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplification

    Simplification is the process of replacing a mathematical expression by an equivalent one that is simpler (usually shorter), according to a well-founded ordering. Examples include:

  4. 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".

  5. Numerical differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_differentiation

    The classical finite-difference approximations for numerical differentiation are ill-conditioned. However, if is a holomorphic function, real-valued on the real line, which can be evaluated at points in the complex plane near , then there are stable methods.

  7. Stretched exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretched_exponential_function

    Following the usual physical interpretation, we interpret the function argument t as time, and f β (t) is the differential distribution.The area under the curve can thus be interpreted as a mean relaxation time.

  8. LMS Fowler Class 4F - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LMS_Fowler_Class_4F

    The London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Fowler Class 4F is a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotive designed for medium freight work. They represent the ultimate development of Midland Railway's six coupled tender engines. Many trainspotters knew them as "Duck Sixes", a nickname derived from their wheel arrangement. [1]

  9. Chebyshev polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_polynomials

    The Chebyshev polynomials can also be defined as the solutions to the Pell equation: () = in a ring R[x]. [6] Thus, they can be generated by the standard technique for Pell equations of taking powers of a fundamental solution: T n ( x ) + U n − 1 ( x ) x 2 − 1 = ( x + x 2 − 1 ) n . {\displaystyle T_{n}(x)+U_{n-1}(x)\,{\sqrt {x^{2}-1 ...
