Uniform finite difference methods are constructed via nonstandard finite difference methods for the numerical solution of singularly perturbed quasilinear initial value problem for delay differential equations. A numerical method is constructed for this problem which involves the appropriate Bakhvalov meshes on each time subinterval. The method is shown to be uniformly convergent with respect t...

We numerically investigate the electric potential distribution over a twodimensional continuum percolation model between the electrodes. The model consists of overlapped conductive particles on the background with an infinitesimal conductivity. Using the finite difference method, we solve the generalized Laplace equation and show that in the potential distribution, there appear the quasi-equipo...

This paper proposes a simple and efficient finite difference method for implicit differentiation of marginal inference results in discrete graphical models. Given an arbitrary loss function, defined on marginals, we show that the derivatives of this loss with respect to model parameters can be obtained by running the inference procedure twice, on slightly perturbed model parameters. This method...

• Table S6: Harmonic vibrational frequencies at the ωB97X-D/aug-cc-pVTZ level using SG-2 and SG-3. In this case, analytic Hessians are available in QChem so we compare these analytic results to frequencies computed via finite difference of analytic gradients. Results show that there is very little difference between the two approaches, which validates other finite-difference frequencies reporte...

This paper investigates some fourth-order accurate explicit finite difference schemes for the 2-D wave equation obtained using 13-, 17-, 21-, and 25-point discrete Laplacians. Optimisation is conducted in order to minimise numerical dispersion and computational costs. New schemes are presented that are more computationally efficient than nine-point explicit schemes at maintaining less than one ...

Approximate group analysis technique, that is, the technique combining the methodology of group analysis and theory of small perturbations, is applied to finite–difference equations approximating ordinary differential equations. Finite–difference equations are viewed as a system of algebraic equations with a small parameter, introduced through the definitions of finite–difference derivatives. I...

Based on Rayleigh beam theory, the sub-impacts of a free-free beam struck horizontally by a round-nosed rigid mass is simulated by the finite difference method and the impact-separation conditions. In order to obtain the sub-impact force, a uniaxial compression elastic-plastic contact model is employed to analyze the local deformation field on contact zone. It is found that the horizontal impac...
