The use of Volterra filters in practical applications is often limited by their high computational burden. To cope with this problem, many strategies for implementing Volterra filters with reduced complexity have been proposed in the open literature. Some of these strategies are based on reduced-rank approaches obtained by defining a matrix of filter coefficients and applying the singular value...

This paper presents a new and efficient transient analysis method for mildly nonlinear circuits. The method is based on Volterra series representation of nonlinear circuits. It characterizes nonlinear circuits using a set of linear circuits called Volterra circuits. The input of the first-order Volterra circuit is identical to that of the nonlinear circuit, whereas that of higher order Volterra...

Sufficent conditions for controllability of nonlinear neutral Volterra integrodifferential systems are established. Controllability of an infinite-delay neutral Volterra system is also considered.

This paper presents performance analysis of an adaptive Volterra/Hybrid equalizer in a nonlinear magneto-optic data storage channel. In a data storage system, nonlinear intersymbol interference (ISI) is one of the limiting factors for high storage density. Volterra and Hybrid (combination of linear and Volterra) equalizers are proposed and developed for compensation of nonlinear ISI. The use of...

This paper introduces parallel-cascade realizations of truncated Volterra systems with arbitrary, but finite order of nonlinearity. Parallel-cascade realizations implement higher-order Volterra systems using parallel and multiplicative combinations of lower-order Volterra systems. Such realizations are very modular and therefore well-suited for VLSI implementation. A systematic way of approxima...

Absfrucf -Volterra filters are a particular class of nonlinear filters defined by an extension of the concept of impulse response to the nonlinear case. Linear-quadratic filters are a special example of Volterra filters limited to the second order. In the first part of this paper it is shown that all the results recently published, valid in the linear-quadratic case, can be extended with the ap...

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,...
