contents This paper introduces a novel approach to system identification for nonlinear input-output models that minimizes the simulation error and frames the problem as a constrained optimization task. The proposed method addresses vanishing gradient issues, enabling faster convergence than traditional gradient-based techniques. We present an algorithm based on feedback linearization control of Lagrange multipliers and conduct a theoretical analysis of its performance. We prove that the algorithm converges to a local minimum, and it enhances computational efficiency by exploiting the problem's structure. Numerical experiments demonstrate that our approach outperforms gradient-based methods in both computational effort and estimation accuracy.
