Abstract Hysteresis, defined as a rate independent memory effect, is a phenomenon that occurs in many physical systems. The effect is sometimes desired, sometimes a nuisance, sometimes cata- strophic, but in every case we must understand hysteresis if we are to better understand the system itself. This work introduces a method of parameter identification for the Preisach model of hyster- esis. This identification method is explored in both the setting of non-singular measures and the setting of singular measures.
