Frequency domain analysis of nonlinear systems: general theory

TLDR
In this article, a unified study of the applications of Volterra functional series to nonlinear-system analysis is presented with special emphasis on frequency-domain results which either have not been published before, or where rigour had been lacking.
Abstract
A unified study of the applications of Volterra functional series to nonlinear-system analysis is presented with special emphasis on frequency-domain results which either have not been published before, or where rigour had been lacking. In particular, an in-depth analysis of the harmonic and intermodulation frequency components due to each Volterra kernel of a given order will be presented and explicit formulas which complement those already published will be given. The effects of manipulating various kernels, which need not be symmetric, on the overall response, as well as on the composite kernels will be investigated. These results are then applied to the analysis of dynamical systems described by a system of nonlinear state equations and a read-out map

Model Reduction by Moment Matching for Linear and Nonlinear Systems

TL;DR: A re-visitation of the linear theory allows to obtain novel results for linear systems and to develop a nonlinear enhancement of the notion of moment that is used to pose and solve the model reduction problem by moment matching for nonlinear systems.

Parametric and nonparametric identification of linear systems in the presence of nonlinear distortions-a frequency domain approach

TL;DR: A related linear dynamic system (RLDS) approximation to the nonlinear system (NLS) is defined, and it is shown that the differences between the NLS and the RLDS can be modeled as stochastic variables with known properties.

Device modeling via nonlinear circuit elements

TL;DR: Contrary to what is the case in linear circuit theory, it is shown that an infinite variety of basic algebraic and dynamic elements will be needed in the eventual formulation of a unified theory on device modeling.

An algebraic approach to nonlinear functional expansions

TL;DR: A new theory of functional expansion is presented which makes use of formal power series in several noncommutative variables and of iterated integrals and a simple closed-form expression for the solution of a nonlinear differential equation with forcing terms is derived.

Measuring Volterra kernels

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a pseudonoise test for measuring the second Volterra kernel of a weakly nonlinear system, which is analogous to the one we present in this paper.
