<strong>Nonlinear</strong> <strong>Prediction</strong><br />

3.1 <strong>Nonlinear</strong> Processes <strong>via</strong> the <strong>Volterra</strong> <strong>Ser</strong>ies:<br />

Background<br />

The failure <strong>of</strong> linear systems (prediction techniques) to accurately model all phys-<br />

ical systems leads to the creation <strong>of</strong> nonlinear prediction methods (Wiener, 1942;<br />

Bracalari and Salusti, 1994). Examples <strong>of</strong> nonlinear systems in which nonlinear<br />

modeling techniques have been applied range from communication to nonlinear in-<br />

teractions <strong>of</strong> waves (Coker and Simkins, 1980; Benedetto and Biglieri, 1983; Koh<br />

and Powers, 1985; Kim et al., 1994; Flioriani et al., 2000). The potential <strong>of</strong> nonlinear<br />

systems in seismic data processing, however, is relatively underutilized.<br />

In this section the <strong>Volterra</strong> series will be introduced by extending a classical<br />

linear prediction technique to nonlinear prediction technique. The goal is to ad-<br />

dress the modeling waveforms with variable curvature in the t − x domain with<br />

nonlinear prediction theory implemented <strong>via</strong> a <strong>Volterra</strong> series and provide a set <strong>of</strong><br />
