An efficient hierarchical identification method for general dual...

For the lifted input–output representation of general dual-rate sampled-data systems, this paper presents a decomposition based recursive least squares (D-LS) identification algorithm using the hierarchical identification principle. Compared with the recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm, the proposed D-LS algorithm does not require computing the covariance matrices with large sizes and matrix inverses in each recursion step, and thus has a higher computational efficiency than the RLS al
