We consider a specific type of nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) that appears in mathematical finance as the result of solving some optimization problems. We review some examples of such ...

Although the world in which we live in is non-linear, or multi-dimensional, engineers and scientists have long used linear mathematical formulas to create models to predict physical phenomena such as ...

Author Dr. R. Russell Rhinehart discusses his new book, Nonlinear Model-Based Control: Using First-Principles Models in Process Control, and explains why nonlinear first-principles models should be ...
