Use a Jacobian matrix to differentiate between linear and non-linear transormations

857 Views Asked by At

When determining whether or not a map/transformation is linear or non-linear, how can the Jacobian matrix be used? A linear equation in two variables is one that may be written in the form y = ax + b, but how do know if it is non-linear?

If the Jacobian is constant, your function is linear.
