All practical systems contain nonlinear dynamics. Control system development for these systems has traditionally been based on linearized system dynamics in conjunction with linear control techniques. Sometimes it is possible to describe the operation of systems by a linear model around its operating points. Linearized system can provide approximate behavior of the system. But in analyzing the overall system behavior, the resulting system model is inadequate or inaccurate. Moreover, the stability of the system cannot be guaranteed.

Rapid development of optoelectronic devices and laser techniques poses an important task of creating and studying, from one side, the structures capable of effectively converting, modulating, and recording optical data in a wide range of radiation energy densities and frequencies, from another side, the new schemes and approaches capable to activate and simulate the modern features. It is well known that nonlinear optical phenomena and nonlinear optical materials have the promising place to resolve these complicated technical tasks....

The book is intended to provide an introduction to the effects of nonlinear elements in feedback control systems. A central topic is the use of the Describing Function (DF) method since in combination with simulation it provides an excellent approach for the practicing engineer and follows on logically from a first course in classical control, such as the companion volume in this series. Some of the basic material on the topic can be found in my earlier book which is frequently referenced throughout the text....

This article is concerned with local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for second order quasilinear hyperbolic equations with rough initial data. The new results obtained here are sharp in low dimension. 1. Introduction 1.1. The results. We consider in this paper second order, nonlinear hyperbolic equations of the form (1.1) gij (u) ∂i ∂j u = q ij (u) ∂i u ∂j u on R × Rn , with Cauchy data prescribed at time 0, (1.2) u(0, x) = u0 (x) , ∂0 u(0, x) = u1 (x) .

This lecture will teach you how to fit nonlinear functions by using bases functions and how to control model complexity. The goal is for you to: Learn how to derive ridge regression; understand the trade-off of fitting the data and regularizing it; Learn polynomial regression; understand that, if basis functions are given, the problem of learning the parameters is still linear; learn cross-validation; understand model complexity and generalization.

This paper focuses on mining the hyponymy (or is-a) relation from large-scale, open-domain web documents. A nonlinear probabilistic model is exploited to model the correlation between sentences in the aggregation of pattern matching results. Based on the model, we design a set of evidence combination and propagation algorithms.

This paper deals with the problem of asymptotic stability for a class of nonlinear discrete-time systems with time-varying delay. The time-varying delay is assumed to be belong to a given interval, in which the lower bound of delay is not restricted to zero. A linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach to asymptotic stability of the system is presented. Based on constructing improved Lyapunov functionals, delay-depenent criteria for the asymptotic stability of the system are established via linear matrix inequalities. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the result..

In this paper we review our works in the field of nonlinear optics in waveguide arrays (WAs) and photonic nanowires. We first focus on the new equation governing light propagation in optical fibers with sub-wavelength cores which simultaneously takes into account (i) the vector nature of the electromagnetic modes inside fibers, (ii) the strong dispersion of the nonlinearity inside the spectral body of the pulse, (iii) and the full variations of the vector mode profiles with frequency.

In this paper, a general propagation equation of ultrashort pulses in an arbitrary dispersive nonlinear medium has been used for the case of Kerr media. This equation which is called Generalized Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation usually has very complicated form and looking for its solutions is usually a very difficult task. Theoretical methods reviewed in this paper to solve this equation are effective only for some special cases.

Using density-matrix theory, an analytical expression of the self-Kerr nonlinear coefficient of a three-level lambda EIT medium for a weak probe light is derived. Influences of the coupling light and Doppler broadening on the self-Kerr coefficient are investigated and compared to experimental observation with a good agreement. The selfKerr nonlinearity of the medium is modified and greatly enhanced in the spectral region of EIT window.

The paper provides a new view on the averaging procedure and equivalent linearization in the study of nonlinear mechanics. It is shown that the duality of those techniques can be used to obtain better approximate solutions or to separate the original nonlinear systems subjected to periodic and random excitations into deterministic and stochastic ones.
