---|---|---|
Component maximum | max(a) | cmptMax(a) |
Component minimum | min(a) | cmptMin(a) |
Scale | scale(a,b) | cmptMultiply(a,b) |
2 Chapter 2: Discretisation procedures
2.1 Section 2.4: Equation discretisation
2.1.1 Subsection 2.4.6: Gradient
- All references to timeScheme should be either gradSchemes or snGradSchemes [1].
- The indication of [Check**] implies that this subsection needs to be revised.
