As in the continuous case, the change of coordinates x → x + (1 − A) –1 b removes the term b from the equation. In the new coordinate system, the origin is a fixed point of the map and the solutions are of the linear system A n x 0. The solutions for the map are no longer curves, but points that hop in the phase space.
Edgar W. Schneider's dynamic model of postcolonial Englishes adopts an evolutionary perspective [1] emphasizing language ecologies. It shows how language evolves as a process of 'competition-and-selection', and how certain linguistic features emerge. [ 2 ]
The two-streams hypothesis is a model of the neural processing of vision as well as hearing. [1] The hypothesis, given its initial characterisation in a paper by David Milner and Melvyn A.
