Sector-bounded nonlinearities refer to a class of nonlinear functions that are bounded within a certain sector or region of the input space. In other words, these functions only take inputs from a specific range of values and produce outputs that are also within a certain range. This property makes sector-bounded nonlinearities useful in many fields of science and engineering, including control theory and signal processing.
In control theory, for example, sector-bounded nonlinearities are often used to model uncertain systems or to represent the effects of nonlinear dynamics on system behavior. This allows engineers to design control algorithms that can handle a wider range of operating conditions and to achieve better performance in the presence of uncertainties. In signal processing, sector-bounded nonlinearities find various applications in adaptive filtering, where they can be used to remove unwanted noise or distortion from signals without introducing any additional artifacts.
The most commonly used sector-bounded nonlinearities are the dead-zone nonlinearity, saturation nonlinearity, and hysteresis nonlinearity. These functions have been extensively studied and many analytical and computational techniques have been developed to model their behavior. Sector-bounded nonlinearities are an important class of nonlinear functions that play a significant role in many areas of modern science and engineering.
