Wavelet Amendment of Polynomial Models in Hammerstein Systems Identification.

A new wavelet algorithm for on-line improvement of an existing polynomial model of nonlinearity in a Hammerstein system is proposed and its properties are examined. The algorithm employs wavelet bases on interval. Convergence of the resulting assembly, comprising the parametric polynomial model and a nonparametric wavelet add-on, to the system nonlinearity is shown. Rates of convergence for uniformly smooth and piecewise smooth nonlinearities with discontinuities are both established. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
