[NMR] In nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the term relaxation describes several processes by which nuclear magnetization prepared in a non-equilibrium state returns to the equilibrium distribution. In other words, relaxation describes how quickly spins `forget` the direction in which they ar...

[approximation] In mathematical optimization and related fields, relaxation is a modeling strategy. A relaxation is an approximation of a difficult problem by a nearby problem that is easier to solve. A solution of the relaxed problem provides information about the original problem. For example, a linear programming relaxation of an integer...

[iterative method] In numerical mathematics, relaxation methods are iterative methods for solving systems of equations, including nonlinear systems. Relaxation methods were developed for solving large sparse linear systems, which arose as finite-difference discretizations of differential equations. They are also used for the solution of lin...

[physics] In the physical sciences, relaxation usually means the return of a perturbed system into equilibrium. Each relaxation process can be characterized by a relaxation time τ. The simplest theoretical description of relaxation as function of time t is an exponential law exp(-t/τ). ==Relaxation in simple linear systems== ===Electronic...

P' is a relaxation of P if: (1) the feasible region of P' contains the feasible region of P, and (2) the objective value in P', say F(x), is no worse than that of P, say f(x), for all x in the domain of P (for maximization, this means F(x) >= f(x) for all x in X). Some of the most common are as follows: dropping integer restrictions (viz., we r...

Relaxation techniques involve the mind as well as the body. Most include learning how to breathe deeply. Once awareness has been created about muscle tension, an individual can learn how to gradually allow it to melt away. Special relaxation audiocassettes can be used to help prepare for relaxation.
