Besides the phase of the fundamental mode, strictly speaking, the preferred phase, many other characteristics have been studied in [226]. Because a large mismatch was chosen, they have lacked any trend, but an interesting oscillatory behavior has been discovered for the initial two-mode coherent state. Within each period, the phase-matched second-harmonic and second-subharmonic generation processes can be prepared. The model of an ideal Kerr-like medium [223] have been considered for a comparison with cascaded quadratic non-linearities. It follows that these nonlinearities exhibit not only self-phase modulation in the fundamental mode but also a cross-phase modulation of the modes that can be considered for a nondemolition measurement. 

Notice that the normal form is simpler than either of the examples we have considered in that no quadratic term exists. This is because quadratic non-linearities are not important for the existence of bistability it is the cubic term that is crucial for this particular phenomenon. Thus, the normal form retains only the features necessary for the universal dynamical phenomenon in question. 

An alternative procedure is the dynamic programming method of Bellman (1957) which is based on the principle of optimality and the imbedding approach. The principle of optimality yields the Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equation, whose solution results in an optimal control policy. Euler-Lagrange and Pontrya-gin s equations are applicable to systems with non-linear, time-varying state equations and non-quadratic, time varying performance criteria. The Hamilton-Jacobi equation is usually solved for the important and special case of the linear time-invariant plant with quadratic performance criterion (called the performance index), which takes the form of the matrix Riccati (1724) equation. This produces an optimal control law as a linear function of the state vector components which is always stable, providing the system is controllable. 

Solving such a myopic deconvolution problem is much more difficult because its solution is highly non-linear with respect to the data. In effect, whatever are the expressions of the regularization terms, the criterion to minimize is no longer quadratic with respect to the parameters (due to the first likelihood term). Nevertheless, a much more important point to care of is that unless enough constraints are set by the regularization terms, the problem may not have a unique solution. 

As these expressions correspond to the CC energy derivative, they must give size-extensive results. However, the price we pay is that the energy of a given order requires wave function contributions of the same order. Furthermore, these non linear terms are difficult to evaluate. The quadartic in term in second-order, requires comparable difficulty to the quadratic terms in a CCSD calculation... 

One approach is to extend the columns of a measurement table by means of their powers and cross-products. An example of such non-linear PCA is discussed in Section 37.2.1 in an application of QSAR, where biological activity was known to be related to the hydrophobic constant by means of a quadratic function. In this case it made sense to add the square of a particular column to the original measurement table. This procedure, however, tends to increase the redundancy in the data. 

Frequently, the relationship between biological activity and log P is curved and shows a maximum [ 18]. In that case, quadratic and non-linear Hansch models have been proposed [19]. The parabolic model is defined as ... 

Numerous compounds of the types (L)AuC=CR and Q+[Au(C=C-R)2] were investigated for their properties as NLO materials. Some of the examples were found to have the largest cubic optical non-linearity for monomeric organometallics.103 Examples are given in Scheme 18. For all of these compounds, the quadratic/cubic hyperpolarizability (linear optical and quadratic NLO response) have been determined. The studies were complemented by cyclovoltammetric measurements.58,59,103,112-117... 

Another important aspect of the Marcus theory has also been systematically investigated with organic molecules, namely the quadratic, or at least the non-linear, character of the activation-driving force relationship for outer sphere electron transfer. In other words, does the transfer coefficient (symmetry factor) vary with the driving force, i.e. with the electrode... 

The second problem is the possible presence of deoxyhemoglobin in the tissues. Indeed, deoxyhemoglobin could contribute to the transverse relaxation but through a non-linear transverse rate enhancement since for this protein l/T 2 increases quadratically with the magnetic field. Such an effect has only been noticed for blood (51). As a conclusion, the present state-of-the-art allows to claim that MRI provides a qualitative indication and a quantitative estimation of iron accumulation, but is unable to approach the accuracy of the chemical determination of iron content. 

Where P is the polarisation and the others the linear (1) and non-linear, second (2) and third order (3) terms. Examples of important second order effects are frequency doubling and linear electro-optic effects (Pockles effect), third order effects are third-harmonic generation, four-wave mixing and the quadratic electro-optic effect (Ken-effect). 

Mixture variables, expressing the composition of the mobile phase as fi ac-tions, have the property that they add up to one (the mixture restriction). The consequence is that no intercept can be estimated when the effects of the solvents are evaluated [10,19]. Moreover interactions and quadratic effects, such as used when the independent variables are process variables, can not be estimated independently. Mathematically it is better to use blending effects only. Interpretation of these blending effects, i.e. explicitly stating what components are responsible for the non-linear effects, is not possible.
