We discuss the notion of Volterra, l-Volterra and separable quadratic stochastic operators defined on (m− 1)-dimensional simplex, where l ∈ {0, 1, ...,m}. The l-Volterra operator is a Volterra operator if and only if l = m. We study the structure of the set of all Volterra and l-Volterra operators and describe their several fixed and periodic points. For m = 2 and m = 3 we describe behavior of ...

In this paper we carefully study the analysis involved with Volterra series. We address system-theoretic issues ranging from bounds on the gain and incremental gain of Volterra series operators to the existence of Volterra series operator inverses, and mathematical topics such as the relation between Volterra series operators and Taylor series. The proofs are complete, and use only the basic fa...

For the past two decades, the Volterra series reduced-order modeling approach has been successfully used for the purpose of flutter prediction, aeroelastic control design, and aeroelastic design optimization. The approach has been less successful, however, when applied to other important aeroelastic phenomena, such as aerodynamically induced limit-cycle oscillations. Similar to the Taylor serie...

For permanent and partially permanent, uniformly bounded Lotka-Volterra systems, we apply the Split Lyapunov function technique developed for competitive Lotka-Volterra systems to find new conditions that an interior or boundary fixed point of a Lotka-Volterra system with general species-species interactions is globally asymptotically stable. Unlike previous applications of the Split Lyapunov t...

Hirota’s bilinear technique is applied to some integrable lattice systems related to the Bäcklund transformations of the 2DToda, Lotka-Volterra and relativistic LotkaVolterra lattice systems, which include the modified Lotka-Volterra lattice system, the modified relativistic Lotka-Volterra lattice system, and the generalized BlaszakMarciniak lattice systems. Determinant solutions are constructe...

We survey continuous and discrete regularization methods for first-kind Volterra problems with continuous kernels. Classical regularization methods tend to destroy the non-anticipatory (or causal) nature of the original Volterra problem because such methods typically rely on computation of the Volterra adjoint operator, an anticipatory operator. In this survey we pay special attention to partic...

This paper proposes a new reduced complexity Volterra model called S-PARAFAC-Volterra. The proposed model is yielded by using the symmetry property of the Volterra kernels and their tensor decomposition using the PARAFAC technique. It takes advantage from previous results where an algorithm for the estimation of the memory and the order of the Volterra model has been presented. The proposed mod...

In this paper, the new hybrid adaptive Volterra filter was proposed to be applied for compensating the nonlinear distortion of memoryless nonlinear systems with saturation characteristics. Through computer simulations as well as the analytical analysis, it could be shown that it is possible for both conventional Volterra filter and proposed Volterra filter, to be applied for linearizing the mem...

This paper introduces a computationally e cient Gauss-Newton type adaptation algorithm for parallel-cascade realizations of truncated Volterra systems with arbitrary, but nite order nonlinearity. Parallel-cascade realizations implement higher-order Volterra systems using parallel and multiplicative combinations of lower-order Volterra systems. The complexity of our system is comparable to the c...
