A Novel Nonlinearity Measure
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent publications in adaptive filtering have shown great interest in the use of nonlinear structures. In particular the quadratic Volterra adaptive filter has proved very popular. In this paper we start by demonstrating the need for nonlinear adaptive filters. Subsequently we present a method for the estimation of the level of nonlinearity of a system so as to be able to select the appropriate adaptation algorithm. Lastly, we apply the nonlinear measure to 2 examples from the open literature.

System's Nonlinearity Measurement Based on the Rpn Concept
The nRPN, nRPNSTAT, and nRPNDYN are three novel indexes to measure system's nonlinearity. These nonlinear measurements are derived from the Robust Performance Number (RPN) concept. The total system's nonlinearity can be measured by the nonlinear RPN (nRPN), while the purely static nonlinearity is captured by nonlinear static RPN (nRPNSTAT) and the dynamic component by the nonlinear dynamic RPN ...
متن کاملOn the Nonlinearity of Pattern Classi
This paper presents a novel approach to the analysis of the overtraining phenomenon in pattern classiiers. A nonlinearity measure N is introduced which relates the shape of the classiication function to the generalization capability of a classiier. Experiments using the k-nearest neighbour rule, a neural classiier and the quadratic classiier show that the introduced measure N can be used to stu...
متن کاملThe Delay Vector Variance Method for Detecting Determinism and Nonlinearity in Time Series
A novel ‘Delay Vector Variance’ (DVV) method for detecting the presence of determinism and nonlinearity in a time series is introduced. The method is based upon the examination of local predictability of a signal. Additionally, it spans the complete range of local linear models due to the standardisation to the distribution of pairwise distances between delay vectors. This provides consistent a...
متن کاملStochastic evolution equations with multiplicative Poisson noise and monotone nonlinearity
Semilinear stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative Poisson noise and monotone nonlinear drift in Hilbert spaces are considered. The coefficients are assumed to have linear growth. We do not impose coercivity conditions on coefficients. A novel method of proof for establishing existence and uniqueness of the mild solution is proposed. Examples on stochastic partial differentia...
متن کاملHighly Nonlinear Dual Core Photonic Crystal Fiber with Low Confinement Loss at 1.55μm Wavelength
A novel design of Dual-Core Photonic Crystal Fiber (DC-PCF) with silica-air microstructures is proposed in this paper. Nonlinearity and confinement loss of DC-PCF are evaluated by using a Full-Vectorial Finite Element Method (FV-FEM) successfully. By optimizing the geometry of three ring DC-PCFs, a high nonlinearity (52w-1km-1) and low confinement loss (0.001dB/km) can be achieved at 1.55μm wav...
