An illuminative example of nonlinear identification
Received 4 October 2000; accepted 23 October 2000.
Abstract
The parameter identification of a nonlinear system is often difficult to handle. Through the study of a particular nonlinear system with a limit cycle, corresponding to a biological system with an endogenous rhythm, we show that it is useful to take into account additional algebraic or geometric features of the system to achieve parameter identification.
