Abstract

Relatively few results were reported about the separability of given classes of nonlinear mixtures by means of the ICA criterion. We here prove the separability of a wide class of nonlinear global (i.e. mixing + separating) models involving "reference signals", i.e. unmixed signals. This work therefore concerns a nonlinear extension of linear adaptive noise cancellation (ANC).We then illustrate the usefulness of our general results by applying them to a model of Heisenberg-coupled quantum states. This paper opens the way to practical ICA methods for nonlinear mixtures encountered in various applications.
