  2. LU decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LU_decomposition

    The cost of solving a system of linear equations is approximately floating-point operations if the matrix has size . This makes it twice as fast as algorithms based on QR decomposition , which costs about 4 3 n 3 {\textstyle {\frac {4}{3}}n^{3}} floating-point operations when Householder reflections are used.

  3. Iterative method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_method

    Iterative method. In computational mathematics, an iterative method is a mathematical procedure that uses an initial value to generate a sequence of improving approximate solutions for a class of problems, in which the n -th approximation is derived from the previous ones. A specific implementation with termination criteria for a given ...

  4. Jacobi method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobi_method

    Jacobi method. In numerical linear algebra, the Jacobi method (a.k.a. the Jacobi iteration method) is an iterative algorithm for determining the solutions of a strictly diagonally dominant system of linear equations. Each diagonal element is solved for, and an approximate value is plugged in. The process is then iterated until it converges.

  5. Conjugate gradient method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_gradient_method

    Conjugate gradient, assuming exact arithmetic, converges in at most n steps, where n is the size of the matrix of the system (here n = 2). In mathematics, the conjugate gradient method is an algorithm for the numerical solution of particular systems of linear equations, namely those whose matrix is positive-semidefinite.

  6. Numerical linear algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_linear_algebra

    Numerical linear algebra. Numerical linear algebra, sometimes called applied linear algebra, is the study of how matrix operations can be used to create computer algorithms which efficiently and accurately provide approximate answers to questions in continuous mathematics. It is a subfield of numerical analysis, and a type of linear algebra.

  7. Finite difference method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_method

    t. e. In numerical analysis, finite-difference methods ( FDM) are a class of numerical techniques for solving differential equations by approximating derivatives with finite differences. Both the spatial domain and time domain (if applicable) are discretized, or broken into a finite number of intervals, and the values of the solution at the end ...

  8. Ordinary differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinary_differential_equation

    e. In mathematics, an ordinary differential equation ( ODE) is a differential equation (DE) dependent on only a single independent variable. As with other DE, its unknown (s) consists of one (or more) function (s) and involves the derivatives of those functions. [1] The term "ordinary" is used in contrast with partial differential equations ...

  9. Diophantine equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diophantine_equation

    Diophantine problems have fewer equations than unknowns and involve finding integers that solve simultaneously all equations. As such systems of equations define algebraic curves, algebraic surfaces, or, more generally, algebraic sets, their study is a part of algebraic geometry that is called Diophantine geometry.
