Properties of Nonlinear Systems
Some properties of nonlinear dynamic systems are
- They do not follow the principle of superposition (linearity and homogeneity).
- They may have multiple isolated equilibrium points.
- They may exhibit properties such as limit cycle, bifurcation, chaos.
- Finite escape time: Solutions of nonlinear systems may not exist for all times.

“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
