  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 programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_programming

    Let X be a subset of R n (usually a box-constrained one), let f, g i, and h j be real-valued functions on X for each i in {1, ..., m} and each j in {1, ..., p}, with at least one of f, g i, and h j being nonlinear. A nonlinear programming problem is an optimization problem of the form

  4. Functional (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_(mathematics)

    This is an example of a non-linear functional. The Riemann integral is a linear functional on the vector space of functions defined on [a, b] that are Riemann-integrable from a to b. In mathematics, a functional is a certain type of function. The exact definition of the term varies depending on the subfield (and sometimes even the author).

  5. Activation function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation_function

    Nontrivial problems can be solved using only a few nodes if the activation function is nonlinear. [ 1 ] Modern activation functions include the logistic ( sigmoid ) function used in the 2012 speech recognition model developed by Hinton et al; [ 2 ] the ReLU used in the 2012 AlexNet computer vision model [ 3 ] [ 4 ] and in the 2015 ResNet model ...

  6. Nonlinear control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_control

    Nonlinear control theory is the area of control theory which deals with systems that are nonlinear, time-variant, or both. Control theory is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering and mathematics that is concerned with the behavior of dynamical systems with inputs, and how to modify the output by changes in the input using feedback ...

  7. Functional programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming

    In computer science, functional programming is a programming paradigm where programs are constructed by applying and composing functions. It is a declarative programming paradigm in which function definitions are trees of expressions that map values to other values, rather than a sequence of imperative statements which update the running state ...

  8. Non-functional requirement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-functional_requirement

    Broadly, functional requirements define what a system is supposed to do and non-functional requirements define how a system is supposed to be.Functional requirements are usually in the form of "system shall do <requirement>", an individual action or part of the system, perhaps explicitly in the sense of a mathematical function, a black box description input, output, process and control ...

  9. Numerical continuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_continuation

    A periodic motion is a closed curve in phase space. That is, for some period, ′ = (,), = (). The textbook example of a periodic motion is the undamped pendulum.. If the phase space is periodic in one or more coordinates, say () = (+), with a vector [clarification needed], then there is a second kind of periodic motions defined by
