Cnoidal wave is the wave height, "λ" is the wavelength, "c" is the phase speed and "η" is the trough elevation. Further cn is one of the Jacobi elliptic functions and "K"("m") is the complete elliptic integral of the first kind; both are dependent on the elliptic parameter "m". The latter, "m", determines the shape of the cnoidal wave. For "m" equal to zero the cnoidal wave becomes a cosine function, while for values close to one the cnoidal wave gets peaked crests and (very) flat troughs. For values of "m" less than 0.95, the cnoidal function can be approximated with trigonometric
Successive over-relaxation methods were designed for computation by human calculators, and they required some expertise to ensure convergence to the solution which made them inapplicable for programming on digital computers. These aspects are discussed in the thesis of David M. Young, Jr. Given a square system of "n" linear equations with unknown x: where: Then "A" can be decomposed into a diagonal component "D", and strictly lower and upper triangular components "L" and "U": where The system of linear equations may be rewritten as: for a constant "ω" > 1, called the "relaxation factor". The method of successive over-relaxation is an iterative
