In mathematics and science, a nonlinear system (or a non-linear system) is a system in which the change of the output is not proportional to the change of the input. [1] [2] Nonlinear problems are of interest to engineers, biologists, [3] [4] [5] physicists, [6] [7] mathematicians, and many other scientists since most systems are inherently nonlinear in nature.

In numerical mathematics, relaxation methods are iterative methods for solving systems of equations, including nonlinear systems. [1]Relaxation methods were developed for solving large sparse linear systems, which arose as finite-difference discretizations of differential equations.
An illustration of Newton's method. In numerical analysis, the Newton–Raphson method, also known simply as Newton's method, named after Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson, is a root-finding algorithm which produces successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real-valued function.
BARON – optimization of algebraic nonlinear and mixed-integer nonlinear problems. COMSOL Multiphysics – a cross-platform finite element analysis, solver and multiphysics simulation software. CPLEX – solver for linear and quadratic programming with continuous or integer variables (MIP). FEATool Multiphysics – FEA GUI Toolbox for MATLAB.
MINOS is a Fortran software package for solving linear and nonlinear mathematical optimization problems. MINOS (Modular In-core Nonlinear Optimization System) may be used for linear programming, quadratic programming, and more general objective functions and constraints, and for finding a feasible point for a set of linear or nonlinear equalities and inequalities.
SciPy (de facto standard for scientific Python) has scipy.optimize solver, which includes several nonlinear programming algorithms (zero-order, first order and second order ones). IPOPT (C++ implementation, with numerous interfaces including C, Fortran, Java, AMPL, R, Python, etc.) is an interior point method solver (zero-order, and optionally ...
Newton–Krylov methods are numerical methods for solving non-linear problems using Krylov subspace linear solvers. [1] [2] Generalising the Newton method to systems of multiple variables, the iteration formula includes a Jacobian matrix. Solving this directly would involve calculation of the Jacobian's inverse, when the Jacobian matrix itself ...
Harmonic balance is a method used to calculate the steady-state response of nonlinear differential equations, [1] and is mostly applied to nonlinear electrical circuits. [2] [3] [4] It is a frequency domain method for calculating the steady state, as opposed to the various time-domain steady-state methods. The name "harmonic balance" is ...
