Examples

Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE)

The eigenvalues will always be correlated.

Advection Equation

Approximation methods:

  1. Leap-Frog: central diff
  2. Lax-Wendroff: Taylor. Plug in the Advection eqn into the Taylor expansion. u(n + delta t) define then compute u’ and u’’. D_x^2: square the matrix or apply the Dx twice?

Von Neumann Analysis

Fourier basis.

{U_m}^n = e^{im\delta x w} multiply by g(w) Goal: ensure that |g| \leq 1

LW: Plug in the U_m^{n+1} into the Fourier space.

Leapfrog:

Heat Equation:

  1. Explicit 2-level
  2. Crank-Nicolson
