  2. Nine-point stencil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-point_stencil

    Both are isotropic forms of discrete Laplacian, [8] and in the limit of small Δx, they all become equivalent, [11] as Oono-Puri being described as the optimally isotropic form of discretization, [8] displaying reduced overall error, [2] and Patra-Karttunen having been systematically derived by imposing conditions of rotational invariance, [9 ...

  3. 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.

  4. PDE-constrained optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDE-constrained_optimization

    PDE-constrained optimization is a subset of mathematical optimization where at least one of the constraints may be expressed as a partial differential equation. [1] Typical domains where these problems arise include aerodynamics , computational fluid dynamics , image segmentation , and inverse problems . [ 2 ]

  5. 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 (+) + (() +).

  6. Delay differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delay_differential_equation

    Delay systems are still resistant to many classical controllers: one could think that the simplest approach would consist in replacing them by some finite-dimensional approximations. Unfortunately, ignoring effects which are adequately represented by DDEs is not a general alternative: in the best situation (constant and known delays), it leads ...

  7. Method of characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_characteristics

    [1] [2] Once the ODE is found, it can be solved along the characteristic curves and transformed into a solution for the original PDE. For the sake of simplicity, we confine our attention to the case of a function of two independent variables x and y for the moment. Consider a quasilinear PDE of the form [3]

  8. Partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_differential_equation

    In mathematics, a partial differential equation (PDE) is an equation which involves a multivariable function and one or more of its partial derivatives.. The function is often thought of as an "unknown" that solves the equation, similar to how x is thought of as an unknown number solving, e.g., an algebraic equation like x 2 − 3x + 2 = 0.

  9. Separation of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_variables

    The matrix form of the separation of variables is the Kronecker sum. As an example we consider the 2D discrete Laplacian on a regular grid : L = D x x ⊕ D y y = D x x ⊗ I + I ⊗ D y y , {\displaystyle L=\mathbf {D_{xx}} \oplus \mathbf {D_{yy}} =\mathbf {D_{xx}} \otimes \mathbf {I} +\mathbf {I} \otimes \mathbf {D_{yy}} ,\,}
