  2. Particle in a box - Wikipedia

    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. Periodic boundary conditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_boundary_conditions

    PBCs can be used in conjunction with Ewald summation methods (e.g., the particle mesh Ewald method) to calculate electrostatic forces in the system. However, PBCs also introduce correlational artifacts that do not respect the translational invariance of the system, [ 3 ] and requires constraints on the composition and size of the simulation box.

  4. Packing problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems

    The related circle packing problem deals with packing circles, possibly of different sizes, on a surface, for instance the plane or a sphere. The counterparts of a circle in other dimensions can never be packed with complete efficiency in dimensions larger than one (in a one-dimensional universe, the circle analogue is just two points). That is ...

  5. Boxing (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    One might desire to have a LinkedList of int, but this is not directly possible. Instead Java defines primitive wrapper classes corresponding to each primitive type: Integer and int, Character and char, Float and float, etc. One can then define a LinkedList using the boxed type Integer and insert int values into the list by boxing them as ...

  6. List of algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_algorithms

    An algorithm is fundamentally a set of rules or defined procedures that is typically designed and used to solve a specific problem or a broad set of problems.. Broadly, algorithms define process(es), sets of rules, or methodologies that are to be followed in calculations, data processing, data mining, pattern recognition, automated reasoning or other problem-solving operations.

  7. Balls into bins problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balls_into_bins_problem

    The problem can be modelled using a Multinomial distribution, and may involve asking a question such as: What is the expected number of bins with a ball in them? [ 1 ] Obviously, it is possible to make the load as small as m / n by putting each ball into the least loaded bin.

  8. Particle method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_method

    A particle method instance describes a specific problem or setting, which can be solved or simulated using the particle method algorithm. Third, the definition of the particle state transition function. The state transition function describes how a particle method proceeds from the instance to the final state using the data structures and ...

  9. 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.
