  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. 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:

  6. 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".

  7. Gaussian quadrature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_quadrature

    The quadrature rule will only be an accurate approximation to the integral above if f (x) is well-approximated by a polynomial of degree 2n − 1 or less on [−1, 1]. The Gauss–Legendre quadrature rule is not typically used for integrable functions with endpoint singularities. Instead, if the integrand can be written as

  8. MUSCL scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUSCL_scheme

    An example of MUSCL type left and right state linear-extrapolation. MUSCL based numerical schemes extend the idea of using a linear piecewise approximation to each cell by using slope limited left and right extrapolated states. This results in the following high resolution, TVD discretisation scheme,

  9. Finite difference method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_method

    For example, consider the ordinary differential equation ′ = + The Euler method for solving this equation uses the finite difference quotient (+) ′ to approximate the differential equation by first substituting it for u'(x) then applying a little algebra (multiplying both sides by h, and then adding u(x) to both sides) to get (+) + (() +).
