  2. 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. 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".

  5. Actinide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinide

    Just as the 4f electron shells are filled in the lanthanides, the 5f electron shells are filled in the actinides. Because the 5f, 6d, 7s, and 7p shells are close in energy, many irregular configurations arise; thus, in gas-phase atoms, just as the first 4f electron only appears in cerium, so the first 5f electron appears even later, in ...

  6. 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:

  7. Numerical differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_differentiation

    In fact, all the finite-difference formulae are ill-conditioned [4] and due to cancellation will produce a value of zero if h is small enough. [5] If too large, the calculation of the slope of the secant line will be more accurately calculated, but the estimate of the slope of the tangent by using the secant could be worse. [6]

  8. Heterogeneous water oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_Water_Oxidation

    2H 2 O → O 2 + 4H + + 4e − Oxidation (generation of dioxygen) 4H + + 4e − → 2H 2 Reduction (generation of dihydrogen) 2H 2 O → 2H 2 + O 2 Total Reaction Of the two half reactions, the oxidation step is the most demanding because it requires the coupling of 4 electron and proton transfers and the formation of an oxygen-oxygen bond.

  9. Stretched exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretched_exponential_function

    ρ can be computed from the series expansion: [9] = = ()! ⁡ (+) For rational values of β , ρ ( u ) can be calculated in terms of elementary functions. But the expression is in general too complex to be useful except for the case β = 1/2 where G ( u ) = u ρ ( u ) = 1 2 π u e − u / 4 {\displaystyle G(u)=u\rho (u)={1 \over 2{\sqrt {\pi ...
