Nonlinear system - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_systemA system of differential equations is said to be nonlinear if it is not a system of linear equations. Problems involving nonlinear differential equations are extremely diverse, and methods of solution or analysis are problem dependent. Examples of nonlinear differential equations are the Navier–Stokes equations in fluid dynamics and the Lotka–Volterra equations in biology.

Before analyzing the solutions to the nonlinear population model, let us make a pre-liminary change of variables, and set u(t) = N(t)/N⋆, so that u represents the size of the population in proportion to the carrying capacity N⋆. A straightforward computation shows that u(t) satisfies the so-called logistic differential equation ...
