We develop a theoretical context in which to study the future-sequential regularization method developed by J. V. Beck for the Inverse Heat Conduction Problem. In the process, we generalize Beck's ideas and view that method as one in a large class of regularization methods in which the solution of an ill-posed rst-kind Volterra equation is seen to be the limit of a sequence of solutions of well...

In this paper, we introduce a novel algorithm for morphing any accelerogram into a spectrum matching one. First, the seed time series is re-expressed as a discrete Volterra series. The first-order Volterra kernel is estimated by a multilevel wavelet decomposition using the stationary wavelet transform. Second, the higher-order Volterra kernels are estimated using a complete multinomial mixing o...

Nonlinear adaptive filtering techniques, based on the Volterra model, are widely used for the nonlinearities identification in many applications. This paper proposes a new implementation of the third order LMS Volterra filter. A third order nonlinear system with memory is identified using the new LMS algorithm implementation for the Volterra kernels estimation. The accuracy of the proposed algo...

Volterra series expansions represent an important model for the representation, analysis and synthesis of nonlinear dynamical systems. However, a significant problem with this approach to system identification is that the number of terms required to be estimated grows exponentially with the order of the expansion. In practice, therefore, the Volterra series is typically truncated to consist of,...

Abstract A new numerical method based on Haar wavelet is proposed for two-dimensional nonlinear Fredholm, Volterra and Volterra-Fredholm integral equations of first and second kind. The proposed method is an extension of the Haar wavelet method [1–3] from one-dimensional nonlinear integral equations (Fredholm and Volterra) to twodimensional nonlinear integral equations (Fredholm, Volterra and V...

Subharmonic images are becoming interestingly in medical ultrasound, as the improvement of contrastto-tissue ratio (CTR). However, an important part for image enhancement is processing techniques. In this study, frequency response functions (FRFs) of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) Volterra systems were used to investigate potentially possible in separating subharmonic frequency for the q...

If a symmetric matrix field e of order three satisfies the Saint-Venant compatibility conditions in a simply-connected domain Ω in R, there then exists a displacement field u of Ω with e as its associated linearized strain tensor, i.e., e = 1 2 (∇u + ∇u) in Ω. A classical result, due to Cesàro and Volterra, asserts that, if the field e is sufficiently smooth, the displacement u(x) at any point ...

We consider a quasistatic system involving a Volterra kernel modelling an hereditarilyelastic aging body. We are concerned with the behavior of displacement and stress fields in the neighborhood of cracks. In this paper, we investigate the case of a straight crack in a two-dimensional domain with a possibly anisotropic material law. We study the asymptotics of the time dependent solution near t...

A delayed predator-prey system with prey dispersal in n-patch environments and impulse effects is investigated. By using Gaines and Mawhin’s continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, a set of easily verifiable sufficient conditions are derived for the existence of positive periodic solutions to the system.
