Abstract
The Volterra series provides a convolution-oriented method for representing the input/output behavior of a nonlinear system. For the case of constant system parameters, such a representation is naturally suited to control design with transfer functions: zeroth order, first order, second order, and so forth. J. L. Peczkowski et al. (1979) introduced a total synthesis problem (TSP) approach to linear feedback synthesis, and J. L. Peczkowski and M. K. Sain (1981) demonstrated how to schedule TSP into a nonlinear controller. For plants with one input and one output, S. A. Al-Baiyat and M. K. Sain (1985) extended TSP to higher order transfer functions for the class of linear analytic systems. The authors complete the extension by treating multiple inputs and multiple outputs. The method is illustrated by designing a control system for a dc-to-dc converter.
