Can a non-linear transformation be represented by matrix?

You can represent some non-linear transforms (like translation) of an n-dimensional vector with an (n+1)-dimensional matrix. However, converting the vector to its (n+1)-dimensional homogeneous version and back is not a linear transformation and also not representable as a matrix.

What is non-linear transformation?

Linear Transformation: Preserves linear relationship between variables. Therefore, correlation between x and y would be unchanged after a linear transformation. Nonlinear Transformation: Changes linear relationship between variables, and thus, changes the correlation between variables.

Is every matrix transformation linear?

That is, where T(x)=ATx. This matrix is called the standard matrix of T. Because every matrix performs a linear transformation and every linear transformation is characterized by a matrix, it follows that there is a one-to-one mapping between linear transformations and matrices.

What are the most common non-linear transformations?

Types of Transformations

The most common ways to transform nonlinear data is by using one of these models: Power model. Logarithm model. Square root model.
