French term
discrétisation
Le domaine des admissibles est alors un polyè dre éventuellement non-vide limité par les k con traintes précédentes.
Dans la pratique, nous pourrons considérer que l'ensemble des couples [A, B] est fini en perdant l'information sur les queues de distribution.
Nous noterons :
le nombre de pas de discrétisation pour cha que réservoir et à chaque pas de temps ;
la valeur discrète de la demande aléatoire cumulée.
Discrete steps or something else?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
discretisation
There are a ton of references out there, e.g. Wikip, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discretization (spelling unfortunately parochial US variety).
A glimpse at that confirms that it is about as consistent with your text as one could imagine: did you in fact search?
| Hi, yes I did search and found the answer. However I also wanted to know what it meant, it is nice to know what you are writing about. |

discretization
In applied mathematics, discretization is the process of transferring continuous functions, models, variables, and equations into discrete counterparts.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discretization
The dispersion and dissipation properties of the spatial discretisation and those of the time-integration methods are investigated separately, providing additional insight into the two **discretisation steps**.

| Thank you. Have to question your vote for non-pro, doubt very much whether many people have even heard the word, let alone have any idea what it means. |
| agree |
B D Finch
: As "discrete" is from the Latin discretus, I'd go for the "discretisation" spelling in EN-gb and think that both US and GB spellings should be in the KOG.

: I think many of these words are spelt with "z", even in UK English papers.

In any case, I plead guilty to the offence of American spelling.
| Do not worry, plenty of people are guilty of spelling errors, and there are just as many who would not know the difference. |
Discussion
I had in mind ONLY the initial use for magnetic tapes - for analogue recording of sounds.
@ writeaway
the fact that you can easily find a translation in a specialised glossary doesn't make a term "non-pro", especially if ONLY people familiar with the subject know what it means exactly.
When you don't know the meaning of a term, you could easily construct a sentence that is grammatically perfectly correct, using the right term found in a good specialised glossary, but that makes no real-life sense whatsoever. Have seen few translations like that.
The human ear doesn't hear any "jumps" because there are no jumps to be heard: the output device (CD player or media file player) processes the digital signal to retrieve the complete continuous audio signal.
Nothing to do with discretion, it's a variable that is defined only at certain points in times.
"discretisation" is like replacing a nice continuous line with a series of dots.
One example: real life sound is continuous - the variations in frequency and amplitude can be represented by a continuous line - registering sounds by old "analogue" methods like gramophone disc or tape recorders was a method of "continuous" recording.
if you "discretise" the sound you take a measurement only at fixed time intervals - if you want to record sound to a computer file you have no choice but to do that - computers don't do "analogue".
The reason why a good digital recording can sound far better that any tape is that the "sampling" is done so often that human ear can't perceive the "jumps" in sound level from one sample to the next, and each measurement is taken with a limited number of possible values, but the difference between two neighbouring values is too small for the human ear to hear any "jumps".
Standard CD format = 44.1k sampling rate (every 0.000023 sec) combined with a 16 bit rate (2exp16=65536 possible values for each sample).
