“…Later, Fu and Dumont (1993) approached this problem in the context of linear discrete-time systems by deriving an analytic optimal solution which forces a fast convergence of the function series by linearly increasing the cost assigned to each additional Laguerre coe cient. Tanguy, Vilbà e, and Calvez (1995) and Tanguy, Morvan, Vilbà e, and Calvez (2000) showed that this analytic solution minimizes the upper bound of the squared norm of the error resulting from the truncation of the series into a ÿnite number of functions. In the context of non-linear systems, Campello, Amaral, and Favier (2001) generalized Fu and Dumont's approach to second-order Volterra models by proposing the use of two independent Laguerre bases for the expansion of the ÿrst-and second-order Volterra kernels.…”
