This example illustrates the origin of the term “linear”: the graph of y = x is a straight line, while the graph of y = x 2 is a curve.

Nonlinear systems come in all shapes and sizes. Linear dynamics is a useful abstraction, but if you look long enough at any real system you consider linear, you will discover nonlinearities. It ...

Linear actuators and oscillating systems constitute a vibrant area of research that bridges concepts in electromagnetism, mechanics and control engineering.

Empirical demand systems that do not impose unreasonable restrictions on preferences are typically non-linear. We show, however, that all popular systems possess the property of conditional linearity.
