The advantage of the parametric representation is that the abstract 'system state' is reduced to a finite set of parameters, greatly facilitating numerical analysis. | The advantage of the parametric representation is that the abstract 'system state' is reduced to a finite set of parameters, greatly facilitating numerical analysis. | ||
This parametrization may involve, e.g., smooth (orthogonal) expansion functions such as [[:Wikipedia:Fourier-Bessel_series|Fourier-Bessel functions]], or discretely defined functionals on a grid. | This parametrization may involve, e.g., smooth (orthogonal) expansion functions such as [[:Wikipedia:Fourier-Bessel_series|Fourier-Bessel functions]], or discretely defined functionals on a grid. | ||
