Relaxation Method (Noun)
Meaning
A method of solving simultaneous equations by guessing a solution and then reducing the errors that result by successive approximations until all the errors are less than some specified amount.
Classification
Nouns denoting acts or actions.
Examples
- The relaxation method was used to solve the complex system of equations by iteratively adjusting the values until convergence was achieved.
