  2. Stepped reckoner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepped_reckoner

    The stepped reckoner or Leibniz calculator was a mechanical calculator invented by the German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (started in 1673, when he presented a wooden model to the Royal Society of London [2] and completed in 1694). [1]

  3. Barzilai-Borwein method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barzilai-Borwein_method

    The short BB step size is same as a linearized minimum-residual step. BB applies the step sizes upon the forward direction vector for the next iterate, instead of the prior direction vector as if for another line-search step. Barzilai and Borwein proved their method converges R-superlinearly for quadratic minimization in two dimensions.

  4. Decade (log scale) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decade_(log_scale)

    To find out the size of a step for a certain number of frequencies per decade, raise 10 to the power of the inverse of the number of steps: What is the step size for 30 steps per decade? 10 1 / 30 = 1.079775 {\displaystyle 10^{1/30}=1.079775} – or each step is 7.9775% larger than the last.

  5. Adaptive step size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_step_size

    In mathematics and numerical analysis, an adaptive step size is used in some methods for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations (including the special case of numerical integration) in order to control the errors of the method and to ensure stability properties such as A-stability. Using an adaptive stepsize is of particular ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_methods_for...

    The step size is =. The same illustration for = The midpoint method converges faster than the Euler method, as .. Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations are methods used to find numerical approximations to the solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs).

  7. Trapezoidal rule (differential equations) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoidal_rule...

    Suppose that we want to solve the differential equation ′ = (,). The trapezoidal rule is given by the formula + = + ((,) + (+, +)), where = + is the step size. [1]This is an implicit method: the value + appears on both sides of the equation, and to actually calculate it, we have to solve an equation which will usually be nonlinear.

  8. Line search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_search

    The step size can be determined either exactly or inexactly. Here is an example gradient method that uses a line search in step 5: Set iteration counter k = 0 {\displaystyle k=0} and make an initial guess x 0 {\displaystyle \mathbf {x} _{0}} for the minimum.

  9. Euler method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_method

    The next step is to multiply the above value by the step size , which we take equal to one here: h ⋅ f ( y 0 ) = 1 ⋅ 1 = 1. {\displaystyle h\cdot f(y_{0})=1\cdot 1=1.} Since the step size is the change in t {\displaystyle t} , when we multiply the step size and the slope of the tangent, we get a change in y {\displaystyle y} value.
