Response of Nonlinear Systems to Unusual Inputs.

Abstract

Handling nonlinear systems is not a simple task, especially if a computer is not available. Generally, although a precise result for every case would be preferable, an approximate solution is usually sufficient for most engineering solutions. R. Boxer and S. Thaler developed a technique presented in Proceedings of IRE that allow one to obtain the response of linear and nonlinear systems, without knowledge of the roots of the system characteristic equation. The aim of this work is to test this technique in obtaining the solution of several time varying linear equations and to produce a compute program that improves the solution accuracy and ease of use.
