  2. Series acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_acceleration

    Two classical techniques for series acceleration are Euler's transformation of series [1] and Kummer's transformation of series. [2] A variety of much more rapidly convergent and special-case tools have been developed in the 20th century, including Richardson extrapolation, introduced by Lewis Fry Richardson in the early 20th century but also known and used by Katahiro Takebe in 1722; the ...

  3. Sequence transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_transformation

    Sequence transformations include linear mappings such as discrete convolution with another sequence and resummation of a sequence and nonlinear mappings, more generally. They are commonly used for series acceleration , that is, for improving the rate of convergence of a slowly convergent sequence or series .

  4. Binomial transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_transform

    In combinatorics, the binomial transform is a sequence transformation (i.e., a transform of a sequence) that computes its forward differences. It is closely related to the Euler transform, which is the result of applying the binomial transform to the sequence associated with its ordinary generating function.

  5. Symmetrical components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetrical_components

    Set of three unbalanced phasors, and the necessary symmetrical components that sum up to the resulting plot at the bottom. In 1918 Charles Legeyt Fortescue presented a paper [4] which demonstrated that any set of N unbalanced phasors (that is, any such polyphase signal) could be expressed as the sum of N symmetrical sets of balanced phasors, for values of N that are prime.

  6. Fourier transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_transform

    An example application of the Fourier transform is determining the constituent pitches in a musical waveform.This image is the result of applying a constant-Q transform (a Fourier-related transform) to the waveform of a C major piano chord.

  7. Bernoulli process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_process

    The term Bernoulli sequence is often used informally to refer to a realization of a Bernoulli process. However, the term has an entirely different formal definition as given below. Suppose a Bernoulli process formally defined as a single random variable (see preceding section). For every infinite sequence x of coin flips, there is a sequence of ...

  8. Shanks transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanks_transformation

    In numerical analysis, the Shanks transformation is a non-linear series acceleration method to increase the rate of convergence of a sequence. This method is named after Daniel Shanks, who rediscovered this sequence transformation in 1955. It was first derived and published by R. Schmidt in 1941.

  9. Energy transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_transformation

    Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. [1] In physics , energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work or moving (e.g. lifting an object) or provides heat .
