This study addresses the identification of Hammerstein CAR systems with backlash, where the nonlinear backlash is described as one regression identification model using a two switching function mathematical model. In such a case, the Hammerstein CAR systems with backlash can be transformed into a piecewise linearized model. Then, a novel multi-innovation recursive least squares algorithm with a forgetting factor is applied to estimate the parameters of the proposed model. Finally, numerical examples are presented to test the performance of the proposed algorithm.
