  1. Understanding the Laplace operator conceptually

    Mar 17, 2021 · Actually this question has been previously asked and well-answered. See Intuitive interpretation of the Laplacian. Also Nice way of thinking about the Laplace operator. Also Why is the …

  2. Laplacian of spherical coordinates - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Jun 25, 2020 · As part of my attempt to learn quantum mechanics, I recently went through the computations to convert the Laplacian to spherical coordinates and was lucky to find a slick method …

  3. 为什么 空间二阶导(拉普拉斯算子)这么重要? - 知乎

    一旦你搞清楚了拉普拉斯算子(Laplacian)的物理意义你就知道为什么它那么常见、那么重要了。 一般你看到的拉普拉斯算子长这样: ∇ → 2

  4. multivariable calculus - Intuitive interpretation of the Laplacian ...

    Sep 15, 2021 · I'd suggest including the word (laplacian operator or laplace operator, in fact both). Currently the title is hard to search because of the different names people give this mathematical …

  5. linear algebra - Understanding the properties and use of the Laplacian ...

    The Laplacian is a discrete analogue of the Laplacian $\sum \frac {\partial^2 f} {\partial x_i^2}$ in multivariable calculus, and it serves a similar purpose: it measures to what extent a function differs at …

  6. Eigenfunction and eigenvalues of Laplacian - Mathematics Stack …

    I'm wondering about some definitions of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the laplacian operator and I would be really glad if you can help me on these definitions. Let's make things simple. I...

  7. calculus - Laplacian derivation cylindrical coordinates - Mathematics ...

    I want to derive the laplacian for cylindrical polar coordinates, directly, not using the explicit formula for the laplacian for curvilinear coordinates. Now, the laplacian is defined as $\\Delta = \\

  8. Why is the Laplacian of $1/r$ a Dirac delta? [duplicate]

    Apr 17, 2016 · How does one show that $\\nabla^2 1/r$ (in spherical coords) is the Dirac delta function ? Intuitively, it would seem that the function undefined at the origin and I'm not able to construct a limiting

  9. spectral graph theory - Why Laplacian Matrix need normalization and …

    Jan 21, 2015 · Why Laplacian matrix needs normalization and how come the sqrt-power of degree matrix? The symmetric normalized Laplacian matrix is defined as $$\ L^ {\text {sym}} = I - D^ { …

  10. linear algebra - Why is second smallest eigenvalue and the ...

    Aug 24, 2015 · The article begins with a discussion of eigenvectors for the smallest eigenvalue, which in the case of the graph Laplacian happens to be zero. The number of eigenvectors for this eigenvalue …
