Nonlinear Systemsby Peter J. OlverUniversity of Minnesota1. is ubiquitous in physical phenomena. Fluid and plasma mechanics, gasdynamics, elasticity, relativity, chemical reactions, combustion, ecology, biomechanics, andmany, many other phenomena are all governed by inherently Nonlinear equations. (The onenotable exception is quantum mechanics, which is a fundamentally linear theory, althoughrecent attempts at grand unification of all fundamental physical theories, such as stringtheory and conformal field theory, [8], are Nonlinear .) For this reason, an ever increasingproportion of modern mathematical research is devoted to the analysis of Nonlinear systemsand Nonlinear , then, does one devote so much time studying linear mathematics?
ory underlies the analysis of convergence and efficiency of such numerical approximation schemes. In general, an iterative system has the form u(k+1) = g(u(k)), (2.1) where g:Rn →Rn is a real vector-valued function. (One can similarly treat iteration of complex-valued functions g:C n→C , but, for simplicity, we only deal with real systems ...
