  2. Relaxation (iterative method) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_(iterative_method)

    Relaxation (iterative method) In numerical mathematics, relaxation methods are iterative methods for solving systems of equations, including nonlinear systems. [1] Relaxation methods were developed for solving large sparse linear systems, which arose as finite-difference discretizations of differential equations. [2][3] They are also used for ...

  3. Gauss–Seidel method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Seidel_method

    Gauss–Seidel method. In numerical linear algebra, the Gauss–Seidel method, also known as the Liebmann method or the method of successive displacement, is an iterative method used to solve a system of linear equations. It is named after the German mathematicians Carl Friedrich Gauss and Philipp Ludwig von Seidel.

  4. Linear programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_programming

    Linear programming is a special case of mathematical programming (also known as mathematical optimization). More formally, linear programming is a technique for the optimization of a linear objective function, subject to linear equality and linear inequality constraints. Its feasible region is a convex polytope, which is a set defined as the ...

  5. Linear algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_algebra

    Systems of linear equations form a fundamental part of linear algebra. Historically, linear algebra and matrix theory has been developed for solving such systems. In the modern presentation of linear algebra through vector spaces and matrices, many problems may be interpreted in terms of linear systems. For example, let

  6. Successive over-relaxation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successive_over-relaxation

    Successive over-relaxation. In numerical linear algebra, the method of successive over-relaxation (SOR) is a variant of the Gauss–Seidel method for solving a linear system of equations, resulting in faster convergence. A similar method can be used for any slowly converging iterative process.

  7. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    In mathematics, a system of linear equations (or linear system) is a collection of two or more linear equations involving the same variables. [1][2] For example, is a system of three equations in the three variables x, y, z. A solution to a linear system is an assignment of values to the variables such that all the equations are simultaneously ...

  8. Adomian decomposition method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adomian_decomposition_method

    The Adomian decomposition method (ADM) is a semi-analytical method for solving ordinary and partial nonlinear differential equations. The method was developed from the 1970s to the 1990s by George Adomian, chair of the Center for Applied Mathematics at the University of Georgia. [1] It is further extensible to stochastic systems by using the ...

  9. Newton's method in optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method_in...

    The geometric interpretation of Newton's method is that at each iteration, it amounts to the fitting of a parabola to the graph of () at the trial value , having the same slope and curvature as the graph at that point, and then proceeding to the maximum or minimum of that parabola (in higher dimensions, this may also be a saddle point), see below.
