Color vision begins with the transduction of light into neural signals by the three classes of cone photoreceptors and ends with the processing of these signals in the cerebral cortex. Historically, ...

A fully nonparametric model for nonlinear analysis of covariance is proposed. The term nonlinear means that the covariate influences the response in a possibly nonlinear and nonpolynomial fashion, ...

Methods for analyzing nonlinear problems in science and engineering. Constructive approach to bifurcation theory and stability theory, dynamical response of nonlinear systems, nonlinear oscillations ...

Linear stability analysis is inadequate for integrators designed for nondissipative systems such as Hamiltonian systems in which nonlinear effects are often decisive. Mathematical theory exists (KAM ...

• Most problems are nonlinear from the get-go. • Simplified load-deflection cases can help explain nonlinear (structural) FEA. Which designers need nonlinear FEA and why? Actually, projects ranging ...
