Such functions are called linear, for reasons that I'll explain soon enough (well, we generally want another condition for linear functions involving scalar multiples of the variable, but I'll ...

In this problem, the optimal path is one that maximizes the expected utility, with the utility function being piecewise-linear and concave. Such a utility function can be used to approximate nonlinear ...

These functions may be called piecewise-linear. Smooth functions that are related to the hyperbola and that have piecewise-linear functions as limiting forms are particularly useful for response ...

We demonstrate the implementation of a variety of non-linear models that are more appropriate for modeling plant growth than are the traditional, linear, models.Ecological inference is frequently ...

The Linear Demand Function A linear demand function is an algebraic formula for calculating demand curves without having to draw a demand function graph.

Getting an all-optical AI to handle non-linear math Instead of sensing photons and processing the results, why not process the photons?
