nonlinear variation
1Nonlinear 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… …
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 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… …
4Nonlinear gameplay — See also: Open world A video game with nonlinear gameplay presents players with challenges that can be completed in a number of different sequences. Each player sees only some of the challenges possible, and the same challenges may be played in a …
5Bounded variation — In mathematical analysis, a function of bounded variation refers to a real valued function whose total variation is bounded (finite): the graph of a function having this property is well behaved in a precise sense. For a continuous function of a… …
6Coefficient of variation — In probability theory and statistics, the coefficient of variation (CV) is a normalized measure of dispersion of a probability distribution. It is also known as unitized risk or the variation coefficient. The absolute value of the CV is sometimes …
7A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History — (hereafter known as ATYNH ) is a 1997 book by Manuel De Landa. The book forms part of the ongoing project of De Landa to apply dynamical systems theory and its ilk to such diverse fields as history, analytical science and realist philosophy,… …
8Point distribution model — The point distribution model is a model for representing the mean geometry of a shape and some statistical modes of geometric variation inferred from a training set of shapes. It has been developed by Cootes, [citation author = T. F. Cootes title …
9Exponential growth — The graph illustrates how exponential growth (green) surpasses both linear (red) and cubic (blue) growth.   Exponential growth …
10Dendroclimatology — Variation of tree ring width translated into summer temperature anomalies for the past 7000 years, based on samples from holocene deposits on Yamal Peninsula and Siberian now living conifers.[1] Dendroclimatology is the science of determining… …
