In this paper, we propose a new class of Volterra series based filters for image enhancement and restoration. Generally the linear filters reduce the noise and cause blurring at the edges. Some nonlinear filters based on median operator or rank operator deal with only impulse noise and fail to cancel the most common Gaussian distributed noise. A class of second order Volterra filters is propose...

Aiming at the nonlinear filtering problem that exists when the input and output observation data are both corrupted by noises, a stable total least square adaptive algorithm for the nonlinear Volterra filter is proposed in this paper. Taking the minimum Rayleigh Quotient of the augmented Volterra weight vectors and a constraint to the last element of the augmented Volterra weight vectors via a ...

In this paper, a nonlinear acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) system is proposed, whereby 3rd order Volterra filtering is utilized along with a variable step-size Gauss-Seidel pseudo affine projection (VSSGS-PAP) algorithm. In particular, the proposed nonlinear AEC system is developed by considering a double-talk situation with near-end signal variation. Simulation results demonstrate that the pr...

Nonlinear intersymbol interferences (ISI) often arise in voiceThe major drawback of the Volterra approach is the enormous band communication channels at high transmission rates or in complexity. Even when the symmetry in the 3rd order Volterra satellite channels due to nonlinearities in the power amplifiers. Proposed equalizers for the cancellation of these nonlinear interferences are mainly ba...

This dissertation is primarily concerned with the estimation of nonlinear communication systems that are modeled by Volterra series. The major methods used for estimating the unknown channel parameters can be classified into two main categories: training-based and blind. First, orthobasis representation and training-based identification through the respective Fourier series are investigated for...

In this paper we consider a nonlinear two-phase Stefan problem in one-dimensional space. The problem is mapped into a nonlinear Volterra integral equation for the free boundary.

In this paper, we studied the numerical solution of nonlinear weakly singular Volterra-Fredholm integral equations by using the product integration method. Also, we shall study the convergence behavior of a fully discrete version of a product integration method for numerical solution of the nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations. The reliability and efficiency of the proposed scheme are...

In this paper, a reliable iterative approach, for solving a wide range of linear and nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations is established. First the approach considers a discretized form of the integral terms where considering some conditions on the kernel of the integral equation it is proved that solution of the discretized form converges to the exact solution of the problem. Then th...

Sound production in musical instruments is the consequence of interactions and wave propagation that include nonlinear phenomena. Simulating these phenomena will enable sound synthesis softwares (such as Modalys, developed at IRCAM) to produce more realistic sounds. In order to do so, nonlinear physical models will be implemented in Modalys software using Green-Volterra kernels. Green-Volterra ...

Absfrucf -Volterra filters are a particular class of nonlinear filters defined by an extension of the concept of impulse response to the nonlinear case. Linear-quadratic filters are a special example of Volterra filters limited to the second order. In the first part of this paper it is shown that all the results recently published, valid in the linear-quadratic case, can be extended with the ap...
