Abstract. This paper presents a new implementable strategy for modeling and identification of a fractional-order discrete-time block-oriented feedback-nonlinear system. Two different concepts of orthonormal basis functions (OBF) are used to model a linear dynamic part, namely "regular" OBF and inverse IOBF. It is shown that the IOBF concept enables to separate linear and nonlinear submodels, which leads to a linear regression formulation of the parameter estimation problem, with the detrimental bilinearity effect totally eliminated. Finally, Laguerre filters are uniquely embedded in modeling of the fractional-order dynamics. Unlike for regular OBF, simulation experiments show a very good identification performance for an IOBF-structured, fractional-order Laguerrebased feedback-nonlinear model, both in terms of low prediction errors and accurate reconstruction of the actual system characteristics.
