Abstract
As compared to linear systems for which well-proven standardised procedures exist, the analysis of nonlinear systems based on random signals cannot be handled in a similar manner because of the lack of a nonlinear systems theory. A number of different procedures has been published, the most popular of them based on the application of the Volterra series, but also procedures based on the optimal linearisation of a given nonlinearity. This paper applies the procedure of optimal linearisation to a system with several imputs and one output. It is possible to extend the procedure to systems having several outputs. As an example, the parameters of the coupling function of a one-stage nerve-network will be computed. The practicability of the procedure and associated errors will be investigated.
