The linear search problem relates to searching an un-ordered sequence. Because the data is no ordered, we must start at one end of the sequence and inspect each element in turn tunil we find the value we are looking for. If we reach the one-past-the-end of the sequence, the value does not exist. From this we can see that for a set of n elements, the worst case (the element does not exist) is O(n) time while the best case is O(1) time (the element we seek is the first element). Given that there is a 50/50 chance the element we seek will be closer to the start of the sequence than the end, the average seek time is O(n/2).
When a set is ordered we can reduce search times by starting in the middle of the set. In this way, if the element is not found we can eliminate half of the set because we know which half contains the value (if it exists). We repeat the process until we find the value in the middle of the remaining set or the remaining set is empty. The end result is that search times are reduced to a worst case of O(log n), the binary logarithm of n.

What is the need for trapezoidal waveform for linearity correction?
This would keep the voltage across the inductance a constant, and corrects the non-linearity problem.
What is the limit of linearity range?
Limit of Linearity is the concentration at which the calibration curve departs from linearity by a specified amount. A deviation of approximately 5% is usually considered the upper limit. Common at higher concentrations.
Linearity is how much important in method validation?
its important for recover the calculation equation and for improve linearity equation (pears low )
What is terminal linearity?
Terminal linearity is when there is no flexibility allowed in the placement of the straight line in order to minimize the deviations ( or non-linearities). The straight line must be located so that each of its end points coincides with the device's upper and lower range values. This means that the non linearity measured will be larger than that measured by the independent linearity definitions.
What is linearity error?
When a function or given data set differes from a liniar curve fit. the difference between the data and a linear curve fit is your linearity error

Is superposition theorem concept based on linearity elements?
yes
The capillary tubing has a uniform bore in a mercury thermometer?
yes ! to insure linearity
Is it necessary to test for the linearity assumption when using ordinal scaled variables?
Yes, it is.
What is demerit of balance slope detector for FM receiver?
poor linearity, difficult in tuning and lack of provisions for limiting
What has the author B Booth written?
B. Booth has written: 'Exploring the linearity of the climate response to external forcing'
What is the difference between nonlinear and linear equations?
== Linear equations are those that use only linear functions and operations. Examples of linearity: differentiation, integration, addition, subtraction, logarithms, multiplication or division by a constant, etc. Examples of non-linearity: trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan, etc.), multiplication or division by variables.
