The baby-step giant-step algorithm is a generic algorithm. It works for every finite cyclic group. It is not necessary to know the exact order of the group G in advance. The algorithm still works if n is merely an upper bound on the group order. Usually the baby-step giant-step algorithm is used for groups whose order is prime.
From equations and , if ϵ is fixed instead of μ, then Y becomes inversely proportional to n, with the result that the subscripts 1 and 2 in equations to are interchanged (due to the additional step of multiplying the numerator and denominator by n 1 n 2).
In particle physics, the Dirac equation is a relativistic wave equation derived by British physicist Paul Dirac in 1928. In its free form, or including electromagnetic interactions, it describes all spin-1/2 massive particles, called "Dirac particles", such as electrons and quarks for which parity is a symmetry.
The usual treatment (e.g., Albert Einstein's original work) is based on the invariance of the speed of light. However, this is not necessarily the starting point: indeed (as is described, for example, in the second volume of the Course of Theoretical Physics by Landau and Lifshitz), what is really at stake is the locality of interactions: one supposes that the influence that one particle, say ...
The above equation is obtained by replacing the spatial and temporal derivatives in the previous first order hyperbolic equation using forward differences. Corrector step: In the corrector step, the predicted value is corrected according to the equation
For example, consider the ordinary differential equation ′ = + The Euler method for solving this equation uses the finite difference quotient (+) ′ to approximate the differential equation by first substituting it for u'(x) then applying a little algebra (multiplying both sides by h, and then adding u(x) to both sides) to get (+) + (() +).
Sir Isaac Newton FRS (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1726/27 [a]) was an English polymath active as a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, and author who was described in his time as a natural philosopher. [7]
First the system is progressed in time to a mid-time-step position, solving the above transport equations for mass and momentum using a suitable advection method. This is denoted the predictor step. At this point an initial projection may be implemented such that the mid-time-step velocity field is enforced as divergence free.
