A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Using the right tags makes it easier for others to find and answer your question.
Questions on the testing and verification of computational methods.
For questions about solving computational problems symbolically. Common examples include symbolic differentiation/integration, symbolic matrix multiplication/inversion, and symbolic solvers for roots …
For questions about properly allocating memory for data structures used in a calculation. This tag is often used when dealing with problems that require very large memory or specific constraints on me…
A parallel algorithm design approach in which the data is divided into pieces and then computations are associated with the data. This contrasts to 'functional decomposition', in which tasks or compu…
For questions about modeling biological problems computationally. This could include population dynamics, protein folding, compartmental models of disease spread, or other equations that arise from a …
For questions involving computational modeling with tensors. The most common definitions of a tensor are a multilinear map or simply a multilinear array.
For questions about generating random samples from some sample space (e.g. numbers, strings, matrices).
For questions involving 3D spatial data. Should ideally be used for questions where the 3D nature of the problem is a particular challenge, rather than just any question involving 3D data.
For questions about the particulars of doing math on computers, e.g. floating point numbers, over/underflow, implementing arithmetic operators/functions for binary numbers.
For questions about using FFTW, a C library for computing discrete fourier transforms.
Referring to sparse matrices with concentrations of non-zero elements along a combination of diagonals, subdiagonals, and/or superdiagonals.
A tag for questions that relate to numerical approaches to optimal control of systems.
Referring to matters of learning/teaching computational science
A linearly independent set of elements of a vector space such that any element in that vector space can be expressed as a linear combination of the elements of the basis.
Questions related to data used in testing computational methods.
For questions about explicit differential equation algorithms, that directly relate the next time step of some variable y to some function of y at the current time step.
For questions about words, phrases and definitions that are specific to computational science.
For questions about data structures (e.g. arrays, lists, queues, dictionaries) and how to best use them in a computational setting.
For questions about applying the deal.II C++ Finite Element library to a computational problem.
For questions on methods for solving partial differential equations by decomposition of a continuous or discrete operator into two or more separate operators.
For questions about applying density functional theory, a method for predicting the energy and other properties of multi-electron systems (e.g. molecules and materials)
Questions regarding the limitations of numerical representations of numbers and similar other than their precision.
a MATLAB-based modeling framework for convex optimization.
For questions about the modeling of incompressible fluids.
The Intel Math Kernel Library is a software library for Intel and compatible processors. It provides vectorized and threaded routines for optimal performance and is compatible with all C, C++ and FORT…
Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for technical computing. It addresses the two-language problem by combining the ease of use of languages such as R and Python with …
