Sometimes, it’s easy for a computer to predict the future. Simple phenomena, such as how sap flows down a tree trunk, are straightforward and can be captured in a few lines of code using what ...

Iterative algorithms of Gauss-Newton type for the solution of nonlinear least squares problems are considered. They separate the variables into two sets in such a way that in each iteration, ...

This paper deals with the nonlinear complementarity problem on the product space of unit simplices, S. A simplicial variable dimension algorithm developed by van der Laan and Talman for proper ...

Analog computers, computing systems that represent data as continuous physical quantities, such as voltage, frequency or vibrations, can be significantly more energy-efficient than digital computers, ...

Conventional techniques may not be sufficient, but a new approach to implementing nonlinear algorithms may accomplish the goal. Roy Batruni, CEO, Optichron Nonlinear signal distortion is widespread ...

Lookup tables and Taylor series are two common methods for interpolating between experimentally gathered data or for generating a known function such as a sine wave. This article proposes a third ...

Human hearing: research done by Jacob Oppenheim and Marcelo Magnasco suggests that human hearing is a highly nonlinear process. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/FusionMS) People can simultaneously identify the ...
