Identification of systems containing linear dynamic and static nonlinear elements

Identification of nonlinear systems which can be represented by combinations of linear dynamic and static nonlinear elements are considered. Previous results by the authors based on correlation analysis are combined to provide a unified treatment for this class of systems. It is shown that systems composed of cascade, feedforward, feedback and multiplicative connections of linear dynamic and zero memory nonlinear elements can be identified in terms of the individual component subsystems from measurements of the system input and output only.
