Nonlinear dynamical systems are systems that can undergo sudden shifts not due to changes in their state or stability, but in response to the rate at which external conditions or parameters change.

This paper proposes a new multi-echelon 4-D chaotic supply chain model (NME-4D-CSCM) incorporating a sinusoidal nonlinearity to better represent uncertainties in supply chain dynamics. The model ...

Many systems obey simple, linear rules: If you pull twice as hard on a spring, it stretches twice as far. However, when we introduce very large forces or complicated interactions, that linear rule ...
