Abstract
The mathematical inconsistencies and hence the unsuitability of the only algorithm available so far in the literature (Sinha et al. 1980) for the identification of non-linear distributed parameter systems via orthogonal functions are critically reviewed. A modified algorithm is proposed and its practical limitations are discussed in detail. In order to illustrate the ideas and to confirm the theoretical predictions, a numerical example is included.
