  2. Nonlinear control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_control

    An example of a nonlinear control system is a thermostat-controlled heating system. A building heating system such as a furnace has a nonlinear response to changes in temperature; it is either "on" or "off", it does not have the fine control in response to temperature differences that a proportional (linear) device would have.

  3. Non-linear effects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_effects

    An example of a positive non-linear effect is observed in the case of Sharpless epoxidation with the substrate geraniol.In all cases of chemical reactivity exhibiting (+)-NLE, there is an innate tradeoff between overall reaction rate and enantioselectivity. The overall rate is slower and the enantioselectivity is higher relative to a linear ...

  4. Chemical oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_oscillator

    In chemistry, a chemical oscillator is a complex mixture of reacting chemical compounds in which the concentration of one or more components exhibits periodic changes. They are a class of reactions that serve as an example of non-equilibrium thermodynamics with far-from-equilibrium behavior.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Nonlinear_systems

    Nonlinear systems are systems whose behavior is not expressible as a linear function of its descriptors; that is, such systems are not linear. For a more detailed discussion, see the article on nonlinear systems .

  6. Nonlinear system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_system

    In mathematics and science, a nonlinear system (or a non-linear system) is a system in which the change of the output is not proportional to the change of the input. [1] [2] Nonlinear problems are of interest to engineers, biologists, [3] [4] [5] physicists, [6] [7] mathematicians, and many other scientists since most systems are inherently nonlinear in nature.

  7. Linear parameter-varying control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_parameter-varying...

    For example, in case of aircraft control, a set of controllers are designed at different gridded locations of corresponding parameters such as AoA, Mach, dynamic pressure, CG etc. In brief, gain scheduling is a control design approach that constructs a nonlinear controller for a nonlinear plant by patching together a collection of linear ...

  8. Feedback linearization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feedback_linearization

    Block diagram illustrating the feedback linearization of a nonlinear system. Feedback linearization is a common strategy employed in nonlinear control to control nonlinear systems. Feedback linearization techniques may be applied to nonlinear control systems of the form

  9. Control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_theory

    Nonlinear systems are often analyzed using numerical methods on computers, for example by simulating their operation using a simulation language. If only solutions near a stable point are of interest, nonlinear systems can often be linearized by approximating them by a linear system using perturbation theory, and linear techniques can be used.
