  2. Riemann sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_sum

    Specific choices of give different types of Riemann sums: . If = for all i, the method is the left rule [2] [3] and gives a left Riemann sum.; If = for all i, the method is the right rule [2] [3] and gives a right Riemann sum.

  3. Finite difference coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_coefficient

    Given that the left-hand side matrix is a transposed Vandermonde matrix, a rearrangement reveals that the coefficients are basically computed by fitting and deriving a -th order polynomial to a window of + points.

  4. Saddlepoint approximation method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddlepoint_approximation...

    The saddlepoint approximation method, initially proposed by Daniels (1954) [1] is a specific example of the mathematical saddlepoint technique applied to statistics, in particular to the distribution of the sum of independent random variables.

  5. 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".

  6. Stencil (numerical analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stencil_(numerical_analysis)

    The Crank–Nicolson stencil for a 1D problem. In mathematics, especially the areas of numerical analysis concentrating on the numerical solution of partial differential equations, a stencil is a geometric arrangement of a nodal group that relate to the point of interest by using a numerical approximation routine.

  9. 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 ...
