  2. 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. [8]

  3. Nonlinear regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_regression

    See Michaelis–Menten kinetics for details . In statistics, nonlinear regression is a form of regression analysis in which observational data are modeled by a function which is a nonlinear combination of the model parameters and depends on one or more independent variables.

  4. Nonlinear programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_programming

    If the objective function is quadratic and the constraints are linear, quadratic programming techniques are used. If the objective function is a ratio of a concave and a convex function (in the maximization case) and the constraints are convex, then the problem can be transformed to a convex optimization problem using fractional programming ...

  5. Nonlinear modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_modelling

    The newer nonlinear modelling approaches include non-parametric methods, such as feedforward neural networks, kernel regression, multivariate splines, etc., which do not require a priori knowledge of the nonlinearities in the relations. Thus the nonlinear modelling can utilize production data or experimental results while taking into account ...

  6. Nonlinear control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_control

    Lur'e problem block diagram. An early nonlinear feedback system analysis problem was formulated by A. I. Lur'e.Control systems described by the Lur'e problem have a forward path that is linear and time-invariant, and a feedback path that contains a memory-less, possibly time-varying, static nonlinearity.

  7. Nonlinearity (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinearity_(disambiguation)

    Nonlinear dimensionality reduction is a simplification that assumes that the data of interest lie on an embedded non-linear manifold within the higher-dimensional space. Nonlinear element, or nonlinear device, is an electrical element which does not have a linear relationship between current and voltage, e.g. a diode.

  8. Linearity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linearity

    Linearity is usually measured in terms of a deviation, or non-linearity, from an ideal straight line and it is typically expressed in terms of percent of full scale, or in ppm (parts per million) of full scale. Typically, the straight line is obtained by performing a least-squares fit of the data.

  9. Consistent and inconsistent equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_and...

    The system + =, + = has exactly one solution: x = 1, y = 2 The nonlinear system + =, + = has the two solutions (x, y) = (1, 0) and (x, y) = (0, 1), while + + =, + + =, + + = has an infinite number of solutions because the third equation is the first equation plus twice the second one and hence contains no independent information; thus any value of z can be chosen and values of x and y can be ...
