"If there would be no God ~ then what a staff-captain am I?" ~ said
one of the characters in a novel by Dostoevskii. In a similar way
we can exclaim: "If there would be no nonlinearity ~ than what
physics would that be'?". Really, the most interesting and exciting
effects are described by non linear equations, and vanish in the
linear approximation. For example, the general theory of relativity
by A.Einstein comes to mind first - one of the most beautiful
physical theories, which is in fact essentially nonlinear. Next,
the phase transitions crystal ~ liquid and liquid ~ gas are due to
the anhar monicity of inter-particle interactions, to dissociation
and infinite motion. Similarly, transitions into the
superconducting state or the superftuid would be impossible with
purely harmonic interaction potentials. Another bril liant
achievement in nonlinear physics was the construction of a laser
and the subsequent development of nonlinear optics. The latter
describes the in teraction of the matter with light of super-high
intensity, when multi-quanta intra-molecular transitions become
essential. Last, we should note here the very beautiful
mathematical theory ~ the theory of catastrophes. Its subject is
the study of invariant general properties of multi-dimensional
surfaces in the vicinity of bifurcation points with respect to
continuous transformations.
