A linear response function describes the input output relationship of a signal transducer such as a radio turning electromagnetic waves into music or a neuron turning synaptic input into a response. Because of its many applications in information theory, physics and engineering there exist alternative names for specific linear response functions such as susceptibility , impulse response or Electrical impedance impedance , see also transfer function . The concept of a Green s function or fundamental solution of an ordinary differential equation is closely related. Mathematical definition Denote the input of a system by math h t math , and the response of the system by math x t math . Generally, the value of math x t math will depend not only on the present value of math h t math , but also on past values. Approximately math x t math is a weighted sum of the previous values of math h t math , with the weights given by the linear response function math chi t t math math x t approx int infty t dt , chi t t h t ,. math This expression is the leading order term of a Volterra series Volterra expansion . If the system in question is highly non linear, higher order terms become important and the signal transducer can not adequately be described just by its linear response function.

Image VEST Core4 LowLevel.png thumbnail 320px right VEST 4 T function followed by a transposition layer In cryptography , a T function is a bijection bijective mapping that updates every bit of the state computer science state in a way that can be described as math x i x i f x 0, cdots, x i 1 math , or in simple words an update function in which each bit of the state is updated by a linear combination of the same bit and a function of a subset of its less significant bits. If every single less significant bit is included in the update of every bit in the state, such a T function is called triangular . Thanks to their bijectivity no collisions, therefore no entropy loss regardless of the used Boolean function s and regardless of the selection of inputs as long as they all come from one side of the output bit , T functions are now widely used in cryptography to construct block cipher s, stream cipher s, PRNG s and cryptographic hash function hash functions . T functions were first proposed in 2002 by Alexander Klimov A. Klimov and Adi Shamir A. Shamir in their paper A New Class of Invertible Mappings . Ciphers such as TSC 1 , TSC 3 , TSC 4 , ABC stream cipher ABC , Mir 1 and VEST are built with different types of T functions. Because arithmetic operation s such as addition , subtraction and multiplication are also T functions triangular T functions , software efficient word based T functions can be constructed by combining bitwise logic with arithmetic operations. Another important property of T functions based on arithmetic operations is predictability of their period mathematics period , which is highly attractive to cryptographers.

Linear phase is a property of a filter signal processing filter , where the phase response of the filter is a linearfunction of frequency , excluding the possibility of wraps at math pm pi math . In a causal system , perfect linear phase can be achieved with a discrete time Finite Impulse Response FIR filter. Linear phase system has the property of the true time delay . Since a linear phase or Linear phase Generalized linear phase generalized linear phase filter has constant group delay , all frequency components have equal delay times. That is, there is no distortion due to the time delay of frequencies relative to one another in many applications, this constant group delay is advantageous. By contrast, a filter with non linear phase has a group delay that varies with frequency, resulting in phase distortion . Some examples of linear and non linear phase filters are given below. The plots below represent the phase response as a function of frequency in radians math w math . Image Phase Plots.svg Generalized linear phase Systems with generalized linear phase have an additional frequency independent constant added to the phase.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 The linear range is that range of input or output values for which an Electronics electronic amplifier produces an output signal information theory signal that is a direct, linearfunction of the input signal. That is, the output can be represented by the equation Output Input × Gain When operating in the linear range, no Clipping audio clipping occurs. If an amplifier were perfectly linear, no distortion Total harmonic distortion harmonic distortion or intermodulation distortion would occur although random noise may still be introduced . Vacuum tube amplifiers tend to exhibit soft clipping as they approach the maximum possible output value, the gain tends to drop, rounding the tops of the signal waveform . Transistor amplifiers, by comparison, tend to produce hard clipping the gain remains approximately the same until the maximum possible output voltage is reached at that point, hard clipping occurs and the waveform never exceeds that value. The sharp inflection point s thus produced in the output waveform tend to have many more high order harmonic s. This is alleged to be the basis of the transistor sound that some audiophile s find offensive although this would not have occurred if they would not have been driving their amplifiers beyond the linear range in the first place .

File TangentGraphic2.svg thumb 300px Tangent line at a , f a In mathematics , a linear approximation is an approximation of a general function mathematics function using a linearfunction more precisely, an affine function . They are widely used in the method of finite differences to produce first order methods for solving or approximating solutions to equations. Definition Given a twice continuously differentiable function f of one real number real variable, Taylor s theorem for the case n 1 states that math f x f a f a x a R 2 math where math R 2 math is the remainder term. The linear approximation is obtained by dropping the remainder math f x approx f a f a x a . math This is a good approximation for x when it is close enough to a since a curve, when closely observed, will begin to resemble a straight line. Therefore, the expression on the right hand side is just the equation for the tangent line to the graph of f at a , f a . For this reason, this process is also called the tangent line approximation . Linear approximations for vector geometric vector functions of a vector variable are obtained in the same way, with the derivative at a point replaced by the Jacobian matrix and determinant Jacobian matrix. For example, given a differentiable function math f x, y math with real values, one can approximate math f x, y math for math x, y math close to math a, b math by the formula math f left x,y right approx f left a,b right frac partial f partial x left a,b right left x a right frac partial f partial y left a,b right left y b right . math The right hand side is the equation of the plane tangent to the graph of math z f x, y math at math a, b . math In the more general case of Banach space s, one has math f x approx f a Df a x a math where math Df a math is the Fr chet derivative of math f math at math a math .
