In this paper, we consider the identification of linear parameter varying (LPV) systems. By taking a nonparametric approach, we do not impose a priori parameterizations on the model structure, nor is it assumed that a natural parameterization is suggested from an analytical understanding of the underlying process. In this case, it is shown that the LPV identification problem reduces to a closely related problem in nonlinear system identification. By referring to previous results, we offer a dispersion-based cost criterion and a sufficient condition on the exogenous parameter under which asymptotic convergence of the identified LPV system is assured almost surely.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
