  2. Five-point stencil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-point_stencil

    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".

  3. Actinide contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinide_contraction

    It is more pronounced than the lanthanide contraction because the 5f electrons are less effective at shielding than 4f electrons. [1] It is caused by the poor shielding effect of nuclear charge by the 5f electrons along with the expected periodic trend of increasing electronegativity and nuclear charge on moving from left to right.

  4. Simpson's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_rule

    Composite Simpson's 3/8 rule is even less accurate. Integration by Simpson's 1/3 rule can be represented as a weighted average with 2/3 of the value coming from integration by the trapezoidal rule with step h and 1/3 of the value coming from integration by the rectangle rule with step 2h. The accuracy is governed by the second (2h step) term.

  5. Simplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplification

    Simplification is the process of replacing a mathematical expression by an equivalent one that is simpler (usually shorter), according to a well-founded ordering. Examples include:

  6. Numerical differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_differentiation

    A simple two-point estimation is to compute the slope of a nearby secant line through the points (x, f(x)) and (x + h, f(x + h)). [1] Choosing a small number h , h represents a small change in x , and it can be either positive or negative.

  7. Lanthanide contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanthanide_contraction

    The lanthanide contraction is the greater-than-expected decrease in atomic radii and ionic radii of the elements in the lanthanide series, from left to right. It is caused by the poor shielding effect of nuclear charge by the 4f electrons along with the expected periodic trend of increasing electronegativity and nuclear charge on moving from left to right.

  8. Cauchy's functional equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy's_functional_equation

    [1] The fifth problem on Hilbert's list is a generalisation of this equation. Functions where there exists a real number c {\displaystyle c} such that f ( c x ) ≠ c f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(cx)\neq cf(x)} are known as Cauchy-Hamel functions and are used in Dehn-Hadwiger invariants which are used in the extension of Hilbert's third problem ...

  9. 6-simplex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-simplex

    In geometry, a 6-simplex is a self-dual regular 6-polytope. It has 7 vertices , 21 edges , 35 triangle faces , 35 tetrahedral cells , 21 5-cell 4-faces, and 7 5-simplex 5-faces. Its dihedral angle is cos −1 (1/6), or approximately 80.41°.
