Numerical resistivity is a problem in computer simulation s of ideal magnetohydrodynamics MHD . It is a form of numerical diffusion . In near ideal MHD systems, the magnetic field can diffuse only very slowly through the Plasma physics plasma or fluid of the system it is rate limited by the resistivity of the fluid. In Eulerian method Eulerian simulations where the field is arbitrarily aligned compared to the simulation grid, the numerical diffusion rate takes the form similar to an additional resistivity, causing non physical and sometimes bursty magnetic reconnection in the simulation. Numerical resistivity is a function of resolution, alignment of the magnetic field with the grid, and numerical method. In general, numerical resistivity will not behave isotropically, and there can be different effective numerical resistivities in different parts of the computational domain. For current 2005 simulations of the solar corona and inner heliosphere , this numerical effect can be several orders of magnitude larger than the physical resistivity of the plasma.

In software engineering and mathematics , numerical error is the combined effect of two kinds of error in a calculation. The first is caused by the finite precision of computations involving floating point or integer values. The second usually called truncation error is the difference between the exact mathematical solution and the approximate solution obtained when simplifications are made to the mathematical equations to make them more amenable to calculation. The term truncation comes from the fact that either these simplifications usually involve the truncation of an infinite series expansion so as to make the computation possible and practical, or because the least significant bits of an arithmetic operation are thrown away. Floating point numerical error is often measured in ULP unit in the last place . See also numerical analysis round off error References Accuracy and Stability of Numerical Algorithms , Nicholas J.

Numerical diffusion is a difficulty with computer simulation s of Continuous function continuous systems such as fluid s or Plasma physics plasmas . Explanation In Eulerian method Eulerian simulations , time and space are divided into a discrete grid and the continuous differential equation s of motion such as the Navier Stokes equation are discretization discretized into finite difference equation s. The discrete equations are in general more diffusion diffusive than the original differential equations, so that the simulated system behaves differently than the intended physical system. The amount and character of the difference depends on the system being simulated and the type of discretization that is used. Most fluid dynamics or Magnetohydrodynamics magnetohydrodynamic simulations seek to reduce numerical diffusion to the minimum possible, to achieve high fidelity but under certain circumstances diffusion is added deliberately into the system to avoid mathematical singularity singularities . For example, shock wave s in fluids and current sheet s in plasma physics plasma s are in some approximations infinitely thin this can cause difficulty for numerical codes. A simple way to avoid the difficulty is to add diffusion that smooths out the shock or current sheet. Higher order numerical methods including spectral methods tend to have less numerical diffusion than low order methods. Example As an example of numerical diffusion, consider an Eulerian simulation using an explicit time advance of a drop of green dye diffusing through water. If the water is flowing diagonally through the simulation grid, then it is impossible to move the dye in the exact direction of the flow at each ... transfer. This numerical effect takes the form of an extra high diffusion rate. When numerical diffusion applies to the components of the momentum vector, it is called numerical viscosity when it applies to a magnetic field, it is called numerical resistivity .

Mergeto Integer valued polynomial date December 2009 In mathematics , a numerical polynomial is a polynomial with Rational number rational coefficients that takes integer values on integers. They are also called integer valued polynomials . They are objects of study in their own right in algebra, and are frequently used in algebraic topology . Classification Polynomials with integer coefficients are numerical polynomials, but they are not the only ones. Binomial coefficient Generalization to real and complex argument Binomial coefficients , thought of as rational polynomials, are also numerical polynomials. For instance, math binom n 2 frac n n 1 2 frac 1 2 n 2 frac 1 2 n math is numerical but does not have integer coefficients. In fact, binomial coefficients generate numerical polynomials every numerical polynomial is a unique integer linear combination of binomial coefficients, via the Difference operator discrete Taylor series binomial coefficients are numerical polynomials, and conversely, the discrete difference of an integer series is an integer series, so the discrete Taylor series of an integer series generated by a polynomial has integer coefficients and is a finite series . See binomial coefficient Binomial coefficients as a basis for the space of polynomials for more information. Other rings Numerical polynomials can be defined over other rings and fields, in which case the integer valued polynomials above are referred to as classical numerical polynomials .

Numerical taxonomy is a Biological classification classification system in biological systematics which deals with the grouping by numerical method s of taxon taxonomic units based on their character states. ref cite web url http www.accessscience.com abstract.aspx?id 461900&referURL http 3a 2f 2fwww.accessscience.com 2fcontent.aspx 3fid 3d461900 title Numerical Taxonomy author date work www.accessscience.com publisher McGraw Hill Ltd. accessdate 13 April 2010 ref . It aims to create a taxonomy using numeric algorithms like cluster analysis rather than using subjective evaluation of their properties. The concept was first developed by Robert R. Sokal & Peter H.A. Sneath in 1963 ref Sokal & Sneath Principles of Numerical Taxonomy , San Francisco W.H. Freeman, 1963 ref and later elaborated by the same authors ref Sneath and Sokal Numerical Taxonomy , San Francisco W.H. Freeman, 1973 ref . They divided the field into phenetics in which classifications are formed based on the patterns of overall similarities and cladistics in which classifications based on the branching patterns of the estimated evolutionary history of the taxa. Note in recent years many authors treat numerical taxonomy and phenetics as synonyms despite the distinctions made by those authors. Although intended as an objective classification method, in practice the choice and implicit weighing of characteristics is, of course, influenced by available data and research interests of the investigator. What was made objective was the introduction of explicit steps to be used to create phenograms and cladograms using numerical methods rather than subjective synthesis of data.

In Scheme programming language Scheme and some other Lisp dialects, a numerical tower is the set of data types that represent number s in a given programming language . Each type in the tower conceptually sits on a more fundamental type, so an integer is a rational number and a number, but the inverse is not necessarily true, i.e. not every number is an integer this asymmetry implies that a language can allow Type conversion implicit coercions of numerical types without creating semantic problems in only one direction coercing an integer to a rational loses no information and does not affect the results of a function, but to coerce most reals to an integer could well result in a problem for example, the real 1 3 does not equal any integer . Scheme programming language, and also other Lisp dialects, defines all its arithmetic within this model. ref http www.schemers.org Documents Standards R5RS HTML r5rs Z H 9.html sec 6.2.1 ref Some given implementations may extend or adapt the tower. Kawa Scheme implementation Kawa , for example, extends it with a Quantity type that is even more generic than Number. Smalltalk is another programming language that follows this model, but it has a Magnitude as superclass of Number. Another popular variant is having both exact inexact arithmetic exact and exact inexact arithmetic inexact versions of the tower or parts of it.

The Numerical response in ecology is the change in predator density as a function of change in prey density. The term numerical response was coined by M. E. Solomon in 1949. ref Solomon, M. E. The Natural Control of Animal Populations. Journal of Animal Ecology. 19.1 1949 . 1 35 ref It is associated with the functional response , which is the change in predator s rate of prey consumption with change in prey density. As Holling notes, total predation can be expressed as a combination of functional and numerical response. ref Holling, C. S. The components of predation as revealed by a study of small mammal predation of the European pine sawfly. Canadian Entomologist 91 293 320. 1959 ref The numerical response has two mechanisms the demographic response and the aggregational response . The numerical response is not necessarily proportional to the change in prey density, usually resulting in a time lag between prey and predator populations. ref Ricklefs, R. E.

expert subject mathematics date July 2009 Numerical continuation is a method of computing approximate solutions of a system of parameterized nonlinear equations, math F mathbf u, lambda 0 math The parameter math lambda math is usually a real scalar mathematics scalar , and the solution an n tuple n vector . For a fixed parameter value math lambda, math , math F ast, lambda math maps Euclidean n space into itself. Often the original mapping math F math is from a Banach space into itself, and the Euclidean n space is a finite dimensional approximation to the Banach space.
