Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
This chapter introduces the definition of nonlinear transformations, their basic properties, and components. It explains their main applications through different examples and gives a first classification, their restrictions, and extensions. It includes special cases showing that it is possible to transform nonlinear equations into linear equations, using nonlinear transformations and it also describes the Least Squares method.
Keywords:
Double homothetic factor, Least squares method, Linear transformation, Linearization, Logarithmic model, Nonlinear transformation, Reciprocal model.
