Paper Special Issue on Nonlinear Theory and Its Applications

Image Associative Memory by Recurrent Neural Subnetworks W ladys law S k arbek y3 and Andrzej Cichocki y33 , Members SUMMARY Gray scale images are represented by recurrent neural subnetworks which together with a competition layer create an associative memory. The single recurrent subnetwork N i implements a stochastic nonlinear fractal operator F i , constructed for the given image f i. W e sh...

Plasmonic antennas as design elements for coherent ultrafast nanophotonics.

Broadband excitation of plasmons allows control of light-matter interaction with nanometric precision at femtosecond timescales. Research in the field has spiked in the past decade in an effort to turn ultrafast plasmonics into a diagnostic, microscopy, computational, and engineering tool for this novel nanometric-femtosecond regime. Despite great developments, this goal has yet to materialize....

Introduction to the special issue on nonlinear organizational dynamics.

It has been twenty-five years since organization scholars began to investigate how chaos theory and nonlinear dynamics could be used to explain change in human organizations (Loye & Eisler, 1987), and in particular, business corporations (Nonaka, 1988). While many were first introduced to organizational dynamics through chaos theory, organizational scholars quickly fanned out over the theoretic...

Scaling laws of nonlinear silicon nanophotonics

Scaling properties of two photon absorption, free carrier scattering, Raman scattering and Kerr effect in silicon waveguides is reported. It is shown that the dependence of minority carrier lifetime on waveguide dimensions has a profound impact on the performance of nonlinear optical devices built using silicon waveguides.
