A recursive solution for strongly nonlinear systems by combining Volterra principles with the harmonic balance technique

An algorithm is presented for determining the steady-state solution of a strongly nonlinear system. It combines an existing Volterra approach for weakly nonlinear systems with some principles that are used in the harmonic balance technique. A uniform method is realized that is applicable in a large class of problems. To demonstrate its possibilities an operational amplifier causing slew-induced distortion is treated
