In
mathematics,
nonlinear systems represent systems whose behavior is not expressible as a sum of the behaviors of its descriptors. In particular, the behavior of nonlinear systems is not subject to the principle of
superposition, as
linear systems are. Crudely, a nonlinear system is one whose behavior is not simply the sum of its parts or their multiples.
