Linear Data Structure:-A data structure in which every element has got exactly two neighbors or two adjacent elements except two elements having exactly one data element.

Non-Linear Data Structure:- In non linear data elements are allowed to have more than two adjacent elements.

What is a non linear line?

Nonlinear lines do not exist since a line, by definition, must be linear.


Differentiate between small signal and large signal amplifier?

The amplifier is supposed to be an electronic circuit. Electronic circuits are nonlinear circuits, which may be modeled in the time domain by means of nonlinear differential equations and nonlinear algebraic equations. The kernel of the solution of the nonlinear equations is the solution of a linear equation system i.e. the nonlinear components and couplings are approximated with linear relations valid for small signals. Iterations are performed until the laws of Kirchhoff are fulfilled. The instant set of linear equations is the small signal model for the amplifier. If the amplifier is excited with a dc power source it assumes an active state called the bias point or quiescent point. If the relation between the input and the output signals of the amplifier is measured to be (almost) linear in the bias point then we assume a small signal amplifier with time independent bias point else we assume a large signal amplifier.


Why you study nonlinear systems when linear system is present?

Linear systems are easier to understand and help you build an understanding of the workings of a system. Once you have a firm understanding of linear systems and the mathematics are understood you will be in a better position to understand more complex non-linear systems.


What is meant by non linear circuits?

A nonlinear component is one in which the current is not proportional to the voltage, in other words it does not follow Ohm's law. The commonest nonlinear component is a diode. A nonlinear circuit is one with a nonlinear component in it.


Difference bw linear and nonlinear data structure?

A data strucutre is classified into two categories: Linear and Non-Linear data strcutures. A data structure is said to be linear if the elements form a sequence, for example Array, Linked list, queue etc. Elements in a nonlinear data structure do not form a sequence, for example Tree, Hash tree, Binary tree,etc. There are two ways of represneting linear data strucutresin memory.One way is to have the linear relationship betweent he elements by means of sequential memory locations. Such linear strucutres are called arrays. The other way is to have the linear relationship betweent he elements represnted by means of links.Such linear data strucutres are callled linked list.
