| bkballa | what is an iterative method? |
| cleopatraliao | @bkballa an iterative method is a way of finding a solution by using successive approximation starting from an initial guess.It's typically used when the problem is too complicated and cannot find a analytical solution...e.g. if a formula is extremely difficult to solve then it is best to use an iterative process and starting from an initial guess then try different numbers until it is solved. The iterative process is normally done by using a computer. |
| Kaloyan | I am not sure I understand the meaning of "time grid specification", which is part of II. Is this the time step specified in the model to run with/at? |
