While I do spend lots of time pushing the idea of linear approximations on my students, we do need nonlinear functions to describe most interesting physical phenomena.

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

Thanks to these abilities, they can already topple complex linear differential equations exponentially faster than classical machines. Researchers have long hoped they could similarly tame nonlinear ...

Asymmetric interactions between different species of molecules have previously been demonstrated to result in self-organized ...

As much as I dread non-linear narratives as a script and continuity supervisor, as a viewer, they’re my one true love. It’s ...

This article reviews work on the planning of experiments with response functions nonlinear in some parameters. Apart from older work on dilution series experiments and quantal bioassays, this field is ...

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 ...

Today’s broadcasters need to manage linear ads on their DTV channels along with nonlinear ads for new distribution platforms like websites, VOD, and mobile services. To meet this 21st century ...
