method of approximation
11approximation — Equitable doctrine by which precise terms of charitable trust can be varied under certain circumstances. Applicable to charitable trusts and employed only where on failure of trust the court finds a general charitable intent. Under this doctrine …
12WKB approximation — In physics, the WKB (Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin) approximation, also known as WKBJ (Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin–Jeffreys) approximation, is the most familiar example of a semiclassical calculation in quantum mechanics in which the wavefunction is… …
13Diffuse element method — The diffuse element method (DEM) is a computer simulation technique used in engineering analysis. It is a meshfree method. The diffuse element method was developed by B. Nayroles, G. Touzot and Pierre Villon at the Universite de Technologie de… …
14Extensions of Fisher's method — In statistics, extensions of Fisher s method are a group of approaches that allow approximately valid statistical inferences to be made when the assumptions required for the direct application of Fisher s method are not valid. Fisher s method is… …
15K-approximation of k-hitting set — In computer science, k approximation of k hitting set is an approximation algorithm for weighted hitting set. The input is a collection S of subsets of some universe T and a mapping W from S to non negative numbers called the weights of the… …
16Eikonal approximation — The eikonal approximation is a method of approximation useful in wave scattering equations within the realms of quantum mechanics, optics, quantum electrodynamics, and partial wave expansionInformal descriptionThe main advantage the eikonal… …
17Newton's method — In numerical analysis, Newton s method (also known as the Newton–Raphson method), named after Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson, is a method for finding successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real valued function. The… …
18Stein's method — is a general method in probability theory to obtain bounds on the distance between two probability distributions with respect to a probability metric. It was introduced by Charles Stein, who first published it 1972,[1] to obtain a bound between… …
19Finite element method — The finite element method (FEM) (sometimes referred to as finite element analysis) is a numerical technique for finding approximate solutions of partial differential equations (PDE) as well as of integral equations. The solution approach is based …
