In physical sciences<\/a>, a nonlinear system<\/b> is a system<\/a> in which the output is not directly proportional<\/a> to the input. Nonlinear problems are of interest to engineers<\/a>, physicists<\/a> and mathematicians<\/a> and many other scientists<\/a> because most systems are inherently nonlinear in nature. Nonlinear systems may appear chaotic, unpredictable or counterintuitive, contrasting with the much simpler linear systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Typically, the behavior of a nonlinear system is described in mathematics<\/a> by a nonlinear system of equations<\/b>, which is a set of simultaneous equations<\/a> in which the unknowns<\/a> (or the unknown functions in the case of differential equations<\/a>) appear as variables of a polynomial<\/a> of degree higher than one or in the argument of a function<\/a> which is not a polynomial of degree one. In other words, in a nonlinear system of equations, the equation(s) to be solved cannot be written as a linear combination<\/a> of the unknown variables<\/a> or functions<\/a> that appear in them. It does not matter if nonlinear known functions appear in the equations. In particular, a differential equation<\/a> is linear<\/i> if it is linear in terms of the unknown function and its derivatives, even if nonlinear in terms of the other variables appearing in it.<\/p>\n
