Abstract
Unveil uncertain forces acting into (or onto) systems is a very interesting and old problem. Indeed, a lot effort has been devoted to develop procedures which results in the understanding of the uncertain forces and its effects. This contribution deals with
recovering of the dynamics of the uncertain forces from measurements (time series). The main idea is to construct an internal model of the nonlinear system and design a discretetime feedback in such way that the model/system differences be stabilized at origin. In principle, if the internal model tracks the trajectory of the nonlinear system, then the uncertain force is recovered by the stabilizing command.
