In the model presented in this paper, it is assumed that enforcement costs are non-linear, specifically that they are a convex function of effort.
The vast majority of reservoir simulations are two-phase, non-linear, non-symmetric models.
We expect more initiatives generally to lead to greater efficacy, but we also examine whether this relationship is non-linear.
Contemporary non-linear recording software has added the visual dimension to editing sound in a way that simply wasn't present in tape-based formats.
The body is supposed to be electro-elastic, with a non-linear elasticity operator.
One possible approach is non-linear message composition, for example the generation of utterances from reduced input such as keywords or telegraphic messages.
It may be possible to update the white-noise background systematically so that it, rather than the kernels, can represent a chaos developing under non-linear interactions.
But since these systems are non-linear, the sum total of our actions may cause them to lurch to quite different, and potentially unwelcome, stability domains.
