Although integral and differential nonlinearity may not be the most important parameters for high-speed, high dynamic performance data converters, they gain significance when it comes to highresolution imaging applications. The following application note serves as a refresher course for their definitions and details two different, yet commonly used techniques to measure INL and DNL in highspeed...

In this paper, a second-order discrete-time automatic control system is studied. This work continuation of the research presented in author’s papers “On Aizerman problem: coefficient conditions for existence four-period cycle system” and threeand six-period cycles system”, where systems with two- three-periodic nonlinearities lying Hurwitz angle were considered. The subjected to stronger constr...

a theory is presented for the dispersion relations of the nonlinear phonon-polaritons arising when phonons are coupled to the electromagnetic waves in multilayered structures of nonlinear materials. the calculations are applied to a multilayered structure consisting of a thin film surrounded by semi-infinite bounding media where each layer may have a frequency dependent dielectric function and ...

The issue of concern is the impact of forward model nonlinearity on the nonlinearity of the inverse model. The question posed is, "Does increased nonlinearity in the head solution (forward model) always result in increased nonlinearity in the inverse solution (estimation of hydraulic conductivity)?" It is shown that the two nonlinearities are separate, and it is not universally true that increa...

the volterra model is widely used for nonlinearity identification in practical applications. in this paper, we employed volterra model to find the nonlinearity relation between electroencephalogram (eeg) signal and the noise that is a novel approach to estimate noise in eeg signal. we show that by employing this method. we can considerably improve the signal to noise ratio by the ratio of at le...

A novel design of Dual-Core Photonic Crystal Fiber (DC-PCF) with silica-air microstructures is proposed in this paper. Nonlinearity and confinement loss of DC-PCF are evaluated by using a Full-Vectorial Finite Element Method (FV-FEM) successfully. By optimizing the geometry of three ring DC-PCFs, a high nonlinearity (52w-1km-1) and low confinement loss (0.001dB/km) can be achieved at 1.55μm wav...

bifurcations leading to chaos have been investigated in a number of one dimensional dynamical systems by varying the parameters incorporated within the systems. the property hyperbolicity has been studied in detail in each case which has significant characteristic behaviours for regular and chaotic evolutions. in the process, the calculations for invariant set have also been carried out. a bro...
