51Conjugate beam method — (0) real beam, (1) shear and moment, (2) conjugate beam, (3) slope and displacement The conjugate beam method is an engineering method to derive the slope and displacement of a beam. The conjugate beam method was developed by H. Müller Breslau in …
52Adiabatic quantum computation — relies on the adiabatic theorem to do calculations.] First, a complex Hamiltonian is found whose ground state describes the solution to the problem of interest. Next, a system with a simple Hamiltonian is prepared and initialized to the ground… …
53Rectangle method — In mathematics, specifically in integral calculus, the rectangle method (also called the midpoint or mid ordinate rule) computes an approximation to a definite integral, made by finding the area of a collection of rectangles whose heights are… …
54Unit dummy force method — The Unit dummy force method provides a convenient means for computing displacements in structural systems. It is applicable for both linear and non linear material behaviours as well as for systems subject to environmental effects, and hence more …
55Finite strip method — The Finite strip method is a teqnique of structural analysis used primarily for bridge and tall structure design. The teqnique was first introduced in 1968.This method is less powerful and versatile then the finite element method but is more… …
56Message-passing method — Message passing methods are a set of algorithms in statistics/machine learning for doing inference through local computation. Belief propagation on Bayesian networks is a good example of a message passing method. Variational message passing… …
57Malecot's method of coancestry — Malecot s coancestry coefficient, f , refers to an indirect measure of genetic similarity of two individuals which was initially devised by the French mathematician Gustave Malécot. f is defined as the probability that any two alleles, sampled at …
58Computus — (Latin for computation ) is the calculation of the date of Easter in the Christian calendar. The name has been used for this procedure since the early Middle Ages, as it was one of the most important computations of the age. In principle, the… …
59Factor analysis — is a statistical method used to describe variability among observed, correlated variables in terms of a potentially lower number of unobserved, uncorrelated variables called factors. In other words, it is possible, for example, that variations in …
60Successive over-relaxation — (SOR) is a numerical method used to speed up convergence of the Gauss–Seidel method for solving a linear system of equations. A similar method can be used for any slowly converging iterative process. It was devised simultaneously by David M.… …
