Nonlinear Dirac equations (NLDE) are derived through a group N^2 of nonlinear (gauge) transformation acting in the corresponding state space. The construction generalises a construction for nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations. To relate N^2…
We show that a recently introduced generalized scheme of quantum mechanics has connections to Li\'{e}nard and Levinson-Smith classes of nonlinear systems. For the Li\'{e}nard type, which has coefficients of odd and odd symmetry, we…
