Recursive Discrete-Time Models for Continuous-Time Systems Under Band-Limited Assumptions

摘要

Discrete-time models are very convenient to simulate a nonlinear system on a computer. In order to build the discrete-time simulation models for the nonlinear feedback systems (which is a very important class of systems in many applications) described as , one has to solve at each time step a nonlinear algebraic loop for . If a delay is present in the loop, i.e., , fast recursive simulation models can be developed and the need to solve the nonlinear differential-algebraic equations is removed. In this paper, we use the latter to model the nonlinear feedback system using recursive discrete-time models. Theoretical error bounds for such kind of approximated models are provided in the case of band-limited signals, and furthermore, a measurement methodology is proposed for quantifying and validating the output error bounds experimentally.
