Because linear equations are so much easier to solve than nonlinear ones, much research across a range of disciplines is devoted to finding linear approximations of nonlinear phenomena.

The same thing would be true for the first function above, f (x) = x²: n ² would equal n. This would be a weird mathematics indeed (there are algebras in which this happens for some nonunit ...

The entire chip had three layers of neurons performing matrix multiplications and two nonlinear function units in between. Overall, the network implemented on the chip could work with 132 parameters.

The Nanodevices group at CIC nanoGUNE shows that breaking a material’s inversion symmetry can shatter Ohm’s law, unleashing ...

This paper considers a stochastic shortest path problem where the arc lengths are independent random variables following a normal distribution. In this problem, the optimal path is one that maximizes ...
