An extension of the secant method of root finding to higher dimensions.

The plane determined by the points x_1, x_2, and x_3 and the line passing through the points x_4 and x_5 intersect in a point which can be determined by solving the four ...

The quintic equation x^5+ax^3+1/5a^2x+b=0 (1) is sometimes known as de Moivre's quintic (Spearman and Williams 1994). It has solutions x_j=omega^ju_1+omega^(4j)u_2 (2) for ...

The term "characteristic" has many different uses in mathematics. In general, it refers to some property that inherently describes a given mathematical object, for example ...

When A and B are self-adjoint operators, e^(t(A+B))=lim_(n->infty)(e^(tA/n)e^(tB/n))^n.

The partial differential equation (1+u_y^2)u_(xx)-2u_xu_yu_(xy)+(1+u_x^2)u_(yy)=0 (correcting a typo in Zwillinger 1997, p. 134).

Partial differential equation boundary conditions which give the value of the function on a surface, e.g., T=f(r,t).

Gives a lower bound for the inner product (Lu,u), where L is a linear elliptic real differential operator of order m, and u has compact support.

The partial differential equation w_t-6(w+epsilon^2w^2)w_x+w_(xxx)=0, which can also be rewritten (w)_t+(-3w^2-2epsilon^2w^3+w_(xx))_x=0.

A partial differential equation whose solution does not depend continuously on its parameters (including but not limited to boundary conditions) is said to be ill-posed.
