Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for synthesis of a hysteresis function of a plurality of inputs, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of input signals; processing the plurality of input signals with at least a parameterized multivariable nonlinearity, the parameterized multivariable nonlinearity serving as a parameterized hysteron, to produce at least one output signal; and processing the plurality of input signals with at least one computing device, the at least one computing device comprising a controller function and a memory, and producing at least one control signal responsive to at least one of the plurality of input signals, the at least one control signal for controlling the parameterized hysteron, wherein the at least one control signal is used to control the parameterized hysteron so as to create a hysteretic response to at least one of the plurality of input signals.
