Four of the methods for approximating the area under curves. 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 ...
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 ...
The extended finite element method (XFEM) is a numerical technique based on the generalized finite element method (GFEM) and the partition of unity method (PUM). It extends the classical finite element method by enriching the solution space for solutions to differential equations with discontinuous functions.
The primary application of the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm is in the least-squares curve fitting problem: given a set of empirical pairs (,) of independent and dependent variables, find the parameters of the model curve (,) so that the sum of the squares of the deviations () is minimized:
Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations, such as Runge–Kutta methods, can be applied to the restated problem and thus be used to evaluate the integral. For instance, the standard fourth-order Runge–Kutta method applied to the differential equation yields Simpson's rule from above.
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".
The backward Euler method is an implicit method: the new approximation + appears on both sides of the equation, and thus the method needs to solve an algebraic equation for the unknown +. For non- stiff problems, this can be done with fixed-point iteration :
Romberg's method is a Newton–Cotes formula – it evaluates the integrand at equally spaced points. The integrand must have continuous derivatives, though fairly good results may be obtained if only a few derivatives exist.
