Approximation Difference

AI Thread Summary

The discussion revolves around finding the expressions for the central difference approximation of the first and second derivatives on a non-uniform grid. It is suggested that the derivation for non-uniform grids should resemble that of uniform grids. Participants are encouraged to share their differential equations for further assistance. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in applying central difference methods in varying grid scenarios. Overall, the focus is on deriving accurate approximations for non-uniform grids.

Hi,

Where can I find the expression of the central difference approximation of the first and second derrivative (spatial) for a NON uniform grid?

Hi,
I think the derivation in the case of non uniform grid should be similar as in the case of the uniform grid.

Write down your differential equation, I will try to help you.

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

i want to just test a linear generator with galvanometer , the magnet is N28 and the wire (Cu) is of 0.6mm thikness and 10m long , but galvanometer dont show anthing , The core is PLA material (3d printed) The magnet size if 28mm * 10mm * 5mm

Thread 'Fundamental Probability'

If the universe is fundamentally probabilistic, and all possible outcomes are realized in some branch of the multiverse, does that invalidate the concept of scientific inquiry? If knowledge is merely a description of one particular branch of reality, does it have any inherent value?
