Abstract :
A method of modeling nonlinear plants is presented which uses established piecewise-linear approximations to nonlinear systems, but provides a reduction to the number of approximations needed. The reduction in the number of approximations is achieved with the addition of time-correlated plant noise, similar to the method of correlated acceleration applied to the problem of tracking a maneuvering target.
