Abstract: The problem of realisation and parameter identification of bilinear systems from recorded input/output data is discussed. First, a brief review of the existing results in realisation theory is given. Then standard results from linear systems theory, such as the Markov parameter representation, Hankel matrices, the algebraic input/output model and the equivalent discrete-time system are transferred to bilinear systems theory. Finally, the advantage of applying computing to the identification problem is outlined and demonstrated for a suitable model of a hydraulic drive.

Keywords: bilinear systems; Markov parameters; realisation theory; Hankel matrix; Toplitz matrix; continuous discrete-time systems; equivalent discrete-time systems; system identification.
