Understanding of Meyer and Stephens’s operator o as a multi-operational one

Andrzej Marek Borys

Abstract


In this paper, the idea of an extended operator o  introduced in the literature on modelling weakly nonlinear circuits by Meyer and Stephens is revisited. The mathematically precise definitions of this operator for the successive Volterra series terms are given. Furthermore, the exhaustive formal and  illustrative descriptions of these definitions are also presented. Finally, the possibility of a reverse formulation for the convolution operations occurring in descriptions of weakly nonlinear circuits is reported.
