Abstract
A relationship between the higher order frequency response functions of the Volterra series model and the well known describing function representation for nonlinear systems is derived. It is shown that a large class of generalised describing functions can be derived from the Volterra model and that this approach removes the restriction to specific inputs. The concept of a worst case transfer function is introduced and examples are included to illustrate the results.
