Best Answer

The presence of any term that is not a constant or a multiple of the independent variable.

It can be any other power of that variable, or a trigonometric or exponential or any other function.

What is the definition of a nonlinear pattern?

A nonlinear pattern means that it is not moving in one direction, or not changing in one way at a regular speed.


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.


Is y equals x squared a nonlinear function?

Yes, y=x^2 is a non-linear function. In fact it is a parabola. Graphing one is quite easy using a table of values or other methods.

What are the advantages of using SIMULINK tools?

One of the main advantages of Simulink is the ability to model a nonlinear system, which a transfer function is unable to do. Another advantage of Simulink is the ability to take on initial conditions.

Is a nonlinear a function?

Any function in which the dependent variable is not exactly proportional to the zeroth or first power of the independent variable. E.g.: y(x) = a*(x+x^3); y(x) = a*exp(x); y(x) = a*sin(x); etc. This may be extended to differential equations by stating a nonlinear differential equation is one in which some function depends on a derivative which is not to the zeroth or first power. An example is: dy/dx - (y(x))^2 = a. Note, all of the values for "a" in these examples are meant to be constants.
