An educational tool and teaching guidelines for nonlinear systems with sparse inputs

In this work, a software package and its associated teaching plan are provided for computationally efficient analysis and simulation of nonlinear systems. This MATLAB based tool can be used during senior undergraduate and graduate level. The students can use this software for system level design and simulation of the effect of nonlinearity and noise in communication transceivers or fast implementation of Volterra filters for a class of sparse vectors.
