In this paper, a method for finding an approximate solution of a class of two-dimensional nonlinear Volterra integral equations of the first-kind is proposed. This problem is transformedto a nonlinear two-dimensional Volterra integral equation of the second-kind. The properties ofthe bivariate shifted Legendre functions are presented. The operational matrices of integrationtogether with the produ...

The mixed Volterra-Fredholm integral equations (VFIEs) arise in various physical and biological models. The main purpose of this article is to propose and analyze efficient Bernoulli collocation techniques for numerically solving classes of two-dimensional linear and nonlinear mixed VFIEs. The novel aspect of the technique is that it reduces the problem under consideration to a system of algebr...

In this paper, a filtered-x recursive least squares (FX-RLS) algorithm based on adaptive 3rd-order Volterra filtering is proposed for nonlinear active noise control (ANC) of systems with a nonlinear primary acoustic path. The simulation results show that the proposed approach yields faster convergence, compared with the conventional methods (e.g., FX-NLMS and FX-GSPAP), for the nonlinear ANC. K...

In this paper we first prove the equivalence between the system of coupled Volterra gyrostats and a special class of energy-conserving low-order models. We then extend the definition of the classical Volterra gyrostat to include nonlinear feedback, resulting in a class of generalized Volterra gyrostats. Using this new class of gyrostats as a basic building block, we present an algorithm for con...

The response of visual cells is a nonlinear function of their stimuli. In addition, an increasing amount of evidence shows that visual cells are optimized to process natural images. Hence, finding good nonlinear models to characterize visual cells using natural stimuli is important. The Volterra model is an appealing nonlinear model for visual cells. However, their large number of parameters an...

Nonlinear systems usually have complicated output frequencies in the frequency domain. For the class of nonlinear Volterra systems, some interesting properties for system output frequencies are studied in this paper. These properties provide a novel insight into the output frequencies of Volterra systems, i.e., the periodicity of the output frequencies. They also demonstrate several novel frequ...

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

Volterra series based model, which is comprised of uniand multi-convolutions in terms of various inputs, could provide an accurate description of nonlinearities while preserving memory effects missed in static transformations. The basic premise of the Volterra theory of nonlinear systems is that any nonlinear system can be modeled as an infinite sum of multidimensional convolution integrals of ...

In high density digital magnetic recording systems, the nonlinear effects in the write process appear in the readback waveform as shifts in the peak positions and changes in the amplitude. The pulse shift causes a nonlinear intersymbol interference (ISI) on the readback signal. In this paper, a Volterra-DFE, in which a Volterra filter is used in the feedback section of decision feedback structu...
