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 'Bilateral and unilateral constraints'

I am going through this course on collision detection: https://siggraphcontact.github.io/ In this link is a PDF called course notes. Scrolling down to section 1.3, called constraints. In this section it is said that we can write bilateral constraints as ##\phi(\mathbf{x}) = 0## and unilateral constraints as ##\phi(\mathbf{x}) \ge 0##. I understand that, but then it says that these constraints call also be written as: $$\mathbf{J} \mathbf{u} = 0, \mathbf{J} \mathbf{u} \ge 0,$$ where...

Thread 'Thinking Outside The Box Versus Knowing What’s In The Box'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Someone who shows interest in science is initially a welcome development. So are fresh ideas from unexpected quarters. In contrast, there is a scientific community that is meticulously organized down to the last detail, allowing little to no external influence. With the invention of social media and other sites on the internet competing for content, unprecedented opportunities have opened up for...
