Abstract: We demonstrate a kind of linear superposition for a large number of nonlinear equations, both continuum and discrete. In particular, we show that whenever a nonlinear equation admits solutions in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions $cn(x,m)$ and $dn(x,m)$, then it also admits solutions in terms of their sum as well as difference, i.e. $dn(x,m)pmsqrtm,cn(x,m)$. Further, we also show that whenever a nonlinear equation admits a solution in terms of $d{n}^2(x,m)$, it also has solutions in terms of $d{n}^2(x,m)pmsqrtm,cn(x,m),dn(x,m)$ even though $cn(x,m),dn(x,m)$ is not a solution of that nonlinear equation. Finally, we obtain similar superposed solutions in coupled theories.
