Teaching students to identify linear and nonlinear functions is an essential aspect of any maths curriculum. This knowledge provides the foundation for understanding more advanced topics such as ...

To identify a nonlinear programming problem, you need to examine the objective function and the constraints and check whether they are linear or nonlinear functions of the decision variables.

2Why use kernel functions for nonlinear data visualization? Nonlinear data visualization is the challenge of displaying data that does not fit a linear model, such as a line or a plane.

In that case, they will converge for both linear and nonlinear function approximators. There are also results indicating that nonlinear function approximators may be more powerful in general than ...

Often in economics a linear function cannot explain the relationship between variables. In such cases a non-linear function must be used. Non-linear means the graph is not a straight line. The graph ...

This book is a systematic presentation of basic notions, facts, and ideas of nonlinear functional analysis and their applications to nonlinear partial differential equations. It begins from a brief ...

The Southern Economic Journal features original, refereed scholarly articles in all areas of economics as well as contributions on the pedagogy of economics. The journal also contains occasional ...

We describe a systematic scheme for the nonlinear adaptive filtering of signals that are generated by nonlinear dynamical systems. The complete filter consists of three sections: a signal-independent ...
