    Significance of non-linear terms

    thank you for your reply. let me make it more clear! see for eg: if the action is S=int{d^4x*(L_d+k*L_d^2)}, where L_d characterises the lagrangian density of the fermionic field and k being some constant(to make correct dimensionality)...by adding L_d^2 , S contains a non-linear term, right...
