Abstract
Abstract A system polynomial is determined using a plurality of system I/O data, wherein the system polynomial expresses the system output in terms of the system input, and wherein the system polynomial has at least one linear term and at least one nonlinear term. A control polynomial is determined, the control polynomial having at least one cancellation term and at least one control term, the at least one cancellation term calculated to cancel the at least one nonlinear term of the system polynomial, and the at least one control term calculated to control the at least one linear term of the system polynomial. A control output signal is generated based on the control polynomial and the control input signal.
