A linear relation is a straight line. A non-linear relation is not - it mayor may not be be a curve.
In linear dynamic systems, the motion traces out an orbit or trajectory in phase space that's a looping curve, mathematically predictable. In nonlinear systems the trajectory in phase space may be a fractal structure, leading to motion that is inherently unpredictable (chaos) from its equations of motion.
Linear equations, if they have a solution, can be solved analytically. On the other hand, it may not always be possible to find a solution to nonlinear equations. This is where you use various numerical methods (eg Newton-Raphson) to work from one approximate numerical solution to a better solution. This iterative procedure, if properly applied, gives accurate numerical solutions to nonlinear equations. But as mentioned above, they are not arrived at analytically.
A linear equation may be used to convert a unit price to a price for the quantity that you want. For example, if one bottle of drink costs C units then (at that same price) 5 bottles will cost 5*C units. It is used in the same way by businesses.
Equal quantities may be added to both sides of a linear equation.

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.
Both linear ICs and nonlinear ICs has an output voltage which is dependent on the input voltage. However, the difference is that linear ICs produce an output voltage which increases or decreases at a "fixed rate" relative to the input voltage. Nonlinear ICs do not do this. A voltage regulator may be considered nonlinear because as you increase the input voltage the output will climb at the same rate (just like linear ICs), however, once the input voltage reaches a particular level point, the output no longer increases as you increase the input. This is at the point where regulation begins. The nonlinear IC no longer changes its output at a fixed rate relative to the input.
Nonlinear format for the publishing of information refers to presenting content in a non-traditional, structured way that allows readers to navigate freely. This format may include hyperlinks, interactive elements, or branching pathways that do not follow a linear progression. Nonlinear publishing can offer readers more engagement and control over how they consume the information.
The difference between linear and non-linear PCM is LPCM represents sample amplitudes on a linear scale. LPCM specifies that the values stored are proportional to the amplitudes, rather than representing say the logarithm of the amplitude or being related in some other manner. While non-linear each step size may vary in amplitude.

Curvilinear forecasting allows for a more flexible modeling approach that can capture nonlinear relationships between variables, which may be present in real-world data. This can result in more accurate predictions compared to linear forecasting methods.
A non-linear PowerPoint has slides linked to each other in connections that are not straight line. One slide does not necessarily follow it's predecessor. The initial screen may offer choices, do you want to learn more about rain, snow, hail, or tornadoes for example. The non-linear PowerPoint may be formatted like a multiple choice quiz, a game show, or other web like connections.

Advantages of Linear Programming 1.The linear programming technique helps to make the best possible use of available productive resources (such as time, labour, machines etc.) 2. In a production process, bottle necks may occur. For example, in a factory some machines may be in great demand while others may lie idle for some time. A significant advantage of linear programming is highlighting of such bottle necks. Disadvantages of Linear Programming 1. Linear programming is applicable only to problems where the constraints and objective function are linear i.e., where they can be expressed as equations which represent straight lines. In real life situations, when constraints or objective functions are not linear, this technique cannot be used. 2. Factors such as uncertainty, weather conditions etc. are not taken into consideration.
