The dynamics of non-divergent flow on a rotating sphere are described by the conservation of absolute vorticity. The
analytical study of the non-linear barotropic vorticity equation is greatly facilitated by the expansion ...
In this paper, we study the behaviour of a MEMS oscillator by applying methods of
nonlinear dynamics. We model the system as a kicked damped oscillator and obtain the iterative maps that describe the MEMS system. The ...
In this paper, we present a formal analysis and description of the steady-state behavior of an electrostatic vibration energy harvester operating in constant-charge mode and using different types of electromechanical ...
Based on the formal analysis of a resonant electrostatic vibration energy harvester operating in constant-charge mode with a gap-closing transducer, we show that the system displays universal behaviour patterns. In this ...
In this paper, we study the possible output of the pulsed digital oscillator (PDO) with multiple resonant modes of the mechanical resonator in the feedback loop. PDOs are simple circuits that allow linear resonators to ...
Many important electronic systems are modelled by discrete-time equations with nonlinearities that are discontinuous and piecewise-linear, often arising as a result of quantization. Approximations based on linearization ...
Partial derivatives of the negative exponential, monomolecular, Mitcherlich, Gompertz,
logistic, Chapman-Richards, von Bertalanffy, Weibull and the Richard’s nonlinear
growth models are presented. The application of these ...
This paper shows that nonlinearity can provide an explanation for the forward
exchange rate anomaly (Fama, 1984). Using sterling-Canadian dollar data, and modelling nonlinearity of unspecified form by means of a random ...
Deciding whether a time series that appears nonstationary is in fact fractionally integrated or subject to structural change is a diffcult task. However, various tests have recently been introduced for distinguishing long ...
Random field regression models provide an extremely flexible way to investigate
nonlinearity in economic data. This paper introduces a new approach to interpreting such models, which may allow for improved inference about ...
