nonlinear method
1Nonlinear control — is the area of control engineering specifically involved with systems that are nonlinear, time variant, or both. Many well established analysis and design techniques exist for LTI systems (e.g., root locus, Bode plot, Nyquist criterion, state… …
2Nonlinear photonic crystal — Nonlinear photonic crystals are usually used as quasi phase matching materials. They can be either one dimensional[1] or two dimensional.[2] Nonlinear Photonic Crystals Broadly speaking, nonlinear photonic crystals (PC) are periodic structures… …
3Nonlinear optics — (NLO) is the branch of optics that describes the behaviour of light in nonlinear media, that is, media in which the dielectric polarization P responds nonlinearly to the electric field E of the light. This nonlinearity is typically only observed… …
4Nonlinear conjugate gradient method — In numerical optimization, the nonlinear conjugate gradient method generalizes the conjugate gradient method to nonlinear optimization. For a quadratic function : The minimum of f is obtained when the gradient is 0: . Whereas linear conjugate… …
5Nonlinear programming — In mathematics, nonlinear programming (NLP) is the process of solving a system of equalities and inequalities, collectively termed constraints, over a set of unknown real variables, along with an objective function to be maximized or minimized,… …
6Method of steepest descent — For the optimization algorithm, see Gradient descent. In mathematics, the method of steepest descent or stationary phase method or saddle point method is an extension of Laplace s method for approximating an integral, where one deforms a contour… …
7Nonlinear dimensionality reduction — High dimensional data, meaning data that requires more than two or three dimensions to represent, can be difficult to interpret. One approach to simplification is to assume that the data of interest lies on an embedded non linear manifold within… …
8Nonlinear Schrödinger equation — This page is about the equation iψt = −½ψxx + κ|ψ|2ψ. For the equation iψt = −½ψxx + V(x)ψ + κ|ψ|2ψ, used in Bose–Einstein condensate theory, see Gross–Pitaevskii equation. In theoretical physics, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) is a… …
9Nonlinear 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… …
10Method of characteristics — In mathematics, the method of characteristics is a technique for solving partial differential equations. Typically, it applies to first order equations, although more generally the method of characteristics is valid for any hyperbolic partial… …
