Nest (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

Nest[f, expr, n] gives an expression with f applied n times to expr.

ParameterMixtureDistribution (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

ParameterMixtureDistribution[dist[\[Theta]], \[Theta] \[Distributed] wdist] represents a parameter mixture distribution where the parameter \[Theta] is distributed according ...

RootReduce (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

RootReduce[expr] attempts to reduce expr to a single Root object.

Nonlinear IVPs and BVPs (Mathematica Tutorial)

Many real-world applications require the solution of IVPs and BVPs for nonlinear ODEs. For example, consider the logistic equation, which occurs in population dynamics. This ...

Numerical Nonlinear Global Optimization ... (Mathematica Tutorial)

Here is one way to get multiple minima: call NMinimize multiple times with different random seeds, which will cause different optimization paths to be taken. This defines a ...

RootLocusPlot (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

RootLocusPlot[g, {k, k_min, k_max}] generates the root locus plot of a rational function g of k ranging from k_min to k_max.RootLocusPlot[sys, ...] plots the root loci of a ...

Update (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

Update[symbol] tells Mathematica that hidden changes have been made which could affect values associated with a symbol. Update[] specifies that the value of any symbol could ...

Threads (GUIKit Package Tutorial)

By default, any interface definition executes within a single thread, and since currently GUIKit` definitions execute at runtime as Java components, this means that execution ...

SetPrecision (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

SetPrecision[expr, p] yields a version of expr in which all numbers have been set to have precision p.

Line Search Methods (Mathematica Tutorial)

A method like "Newton's" method chooses a step, but the validity of that step only goes as far as the Newton quadratic model for the function really reflects the function. ...
