Abstract

Consider a set of single-input, single-output nonlinear systems whose input-output maps are described only in terms of convergent Chen-Fliess series without any assumption that finite dimensional state space models are available. It is shown that any additive or multiplicative interconnection of such systems always has a Chen-Fliess series representation that can be computed explicitly in terms of iterated formal Lie derivatives.
