Discrete Laplace operator

ID: discrete-laplace-operator

The Discrete Laplace operator, often referred to as the discrete Laplacian, is a crucial mathematical tool used primarily in the fields of numerical analysis, image processing, and physics when dealing with discrete data, such as grids or meshes. It is a finite difference analogue of the continuous Laplace operator, which captures the concept of local curvature or diffusion.
