  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. 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 ...

  4. 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 = /.

  5. 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.

  6. Bentley–Ottmann algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentley–Ottmann_algorithm

    The main idea of the Bentley–Ottmann algorithm is to use a sweep line approach, in which a vertical line L moves from left to right (or, e.g., from top to bottom) across the plane, intersecting the input line segments in sequence as it moves. [2] The algorithm is described most easily in its general position, meaning:

  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. Interval (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    An interval is said to be left-open if and only if it contains no minimum (an element that is smaller than all other elements); right-open if it contains no maximum; and open if it contains neither. The interval [0, 1) = {x | 0 ≤ x < 1}, for example, is left-closed and right-open. The empty set and the set of all reals are both open and ...

  9. Collocation method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collocation_method

    In mathematics, a collocation method is a method for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and integral equations.The idea is to choose a finite-dimensional space of candidate solutions (usually polynomials up to a certain degree) and a number of points in the domain (called collocation points), and to select that solution which satisfies the ...
