Definition of non-linearity in English English dictionary
A process is called "non-linear" when there is no simple proportional relation between cause and effect The climate system contains many such non-linear processes, resulting in a system with a potentially very complex behaviour Such complexity may lead to rapid climate change
The deviation of the accelerometer output from the input-output from a BFST (least square method) over the operating range The deviation is expressed as a percentage of the full-scale output Optional representation is to provide non-linearity coefficients: i e , K2 (ug/g²) and K3 (ug/g3)
Linearity is sequential action A movie is linear Non-linearity designs allow players to face levels or challeneges in any order
The deviation from linearity in an electronic circuit, an electro-optic device or a fiber that generates undesired components in a signal Examples of fiber nonlinearities include SBS, SRS, FWM, SPM, XPM, and Intermodulation
The interactions of agents that produce aggregate behavior are nonlinear in that you cannot derive that behavior by adding up the individual agent behavior or interactions The sum is greater than the parts
In neural networks, nonlinearity can take several forms/feedback into the same layer, multi-layer feedback, normalization and competition, or multi-layer feed-forward networks which use non-linear transfer functions
What goes into a system comes out changed by its passage through that system-in other words, distorted The ideal of an audio component and an audio system is to be linear, or nondistorting, with the image on one side of the mirror identical to the image on the other side
