Design of IIR filters by optimization techniques by Wang, Zhe.

“…In this report, mainly two Minimax design techniques of Digital IIR Filters namely Sequential Constrained Least-Squares Method combined with Steiglitz-McBride (SCLS SM) and Sequential Minimization Procedure for Minimax Design of IIR Filter Based on Second-Order Factor Updates (SMSOF) are presented to solve the two optimization design issues on IIR filters, which refers to converting the non-convex optimization problem into the convex problem and the stability issue of IIR filters. …”
