Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed an optical computing framework that performs large-scale nonlinear computations using linear materials. Reported in ...

This paper considers non-linear programming models in which randomized solutions are allowed. That is, we consider the minimization of the expected value of a non-linear function subject to ...

Activation functions play a critical role in AI inference, helping to ferret out nonlinear behaviors in AI models. This makes them an integral part of any neural network, but nonlinear functions can ...

The commonly-quoted derivation of 3rd harmonic distortion level from the series expansion of the gain function produces an inaccurate result. This is often excused as an inherent artifact of the ...

I've been grading calculus exams this week, and even though my students did quite well overall there were a couple of errors that I see every semester. Errors that make mathematicians' heads explode.

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

A new technical paper titled “Massively parallel and universal approximation of nonlinear functions using diffractive processors” was published by researchers at UCLA. “Nonlinear computation is ...
