  2. Particle in a box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_in_a_box

    The potential energy in this model is given as = {, < < +,,, where L is the length of the box, x c is the location of the center of the box and x is the position of the particle within the box. Simple cases include the centered box ( x c = 0) and the shifted box ( x c = L /2) (pictured).

  3. Talk:Particle in a box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Particle_in_a_box

    For the particle in a box, it can be shown that the average position is always <x> = L/2, regardless of the state of the particle. The above statement is only true if the expectation is taken for an eigenstate. However, the most general state of a particle in a box is a linear combination of eigenstates.

  4. Boxing (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_(computer_programming)

    In Objective-C, any primitive value can be prefixed by a @ to make an NSNumber out of it (e.g. @123 or @(123)). This allows for adding them in any of the standard collections, such as an NSArray . Haskell has little or no notion of reference type , but still uses the term "boxed" for the runtime system's uniform pointer-to- tagged union ...

  5. Gas in a box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_in_a_box

    The critical temperature is the temperature at which a Bose–Einstein condensate begins to form. The problem is, as mentioned above, that the ground state has been ignored in the continuum approximation. It turns out, however, that the above equation for particle number expresses the number of bosons in excited states rather well, and thus:

  6. Packing problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems

    Many of these problems can be related to real-life packaging, storage and transportation issues. Each packing problem has a dual covering problem, which asks how many of the same objects are required to completely cover every region of the container, where objects are allowed to overlap. In a bin packing problem, people are given:

  7. Balls into bins problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balls_into_bins_problem

    The problem involves m balls and n boxes (or "bins"). Each time, a single ball is placed into one of the bins. Each time, a single ball is placed into one of the bins. After all balls are in the bins, we look at the number of balls in each bin; we call this number the load on the bin.

  8. Computational particle physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_particle_physics

    Computational particle physics refers to the methods and computing tools developed in and used by particle physics research. Like computational chemistry or computational biology, it is, for particle physics both a specific branch and an interdisciplinary field relying on computer science, theoretical and experimental particle physics and mathematics.

  9. Minimum bounding box algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bounding_box...

    In computational geometry, the smallest enclosing box problem is that of finding the oriented minimum bounding box enclosing a set of points. It is a type of bounding volume. "Smallest" may refer to volume, area, perimeter, etc. of the box. It is sufficient to find the smallest enclosing box for the convex hull of the objects in question. It is ...
