Complex Noise-Resistant Zeroing Neural Network for Computing Complex Time-Dependent Lyapunov Equation

Complex time-dependent Lyapunov equation (CTDLE), as an important means of stability analysis of control systems, has been extensively employed in mathematics and engineering application fields. Recursive neural networks (RNNs) have been reported as an effective method for solving CTDLE. In the previous work, zeroing neural networks (ZNNs) have been established to find the accurate solution of time-dependent Lyapunov equation (TDLE) in the noise-free conditions. However, noises are inevitable in the actual implementation process. In order to suppress the interference of various noises in practical applications, in this paper, a complex noise-resistant ZNN (CNRZNN) model is proposed and employed for the CTDLE solution. Additionally, the convergence and robustness of the CNRZNN model are analyzed and proved theoretically. For verification and comparison, three experiments and the existing noise-tolerant ZNN (NTZNN) model are introduced to investigate the effectiveness, convergence and robustness of the CNRZNN model. Compared with the NTZNN model, the CNRZNN model has more generality and stronger robustness. Specifically, the NTZNN model is a special form of the CNRZNN model, and the residual error of CNRZNN can converge rapidly and stably to order 10−5 when solving CTDLE under complex linear noises, which is much lower than order 10−1 of the NTZNN model. Analogously, under complex quadratic noises, the residual error of the CNRZNN model can converge to 2∥A∥F/ζ3 quickly and stably, while the residual error of the NTZNN model is divergent

Discrete-time zeroing neural network for solving time-varying Sylvester-transpose matrix inequation via exp-aided conversion

Time-varying linear matrix equations and inequations have been widely studied in recent years. Time-varying Sylvester-transpose matrix inequation, which is an important variant, has not been fully investigated. Solving the time-varying problem in a constructive manner remains a challenge. This study considers an exp-aided conversion from time-varying linear matrix inequations to equations to solve the intractable problem. On the basis of zeroing neural network (ZNN) method, a continuous-time zeroing neural network (CTZNN) model is derived with the help of Kronecker product and vectorization technique. The convergence property of the model is analyzed. Two discrete-time ZNN models are obtained with the theoretical analyses of truncation error by using two Zhang et al.’s discretization (ZeaD) formulas with different precision to discretize the CTZNN model. The comparative numerical experiments are conducted for two discrete-time ZNN models, and the corresponding numerical results substantiate the convergence and effectiveness of two ZNN discrete-time models

New Noise-Tolerant ZNN Models With Predefined-Time Convergence for Time-Variant Sylvester Equation Solving

Sylvester equation is often applied to various fields, such as mathematics and control systems due to its importance. Zeroing neural network (ZNN), as a systematic design method for time-variant problems, has been proved to be effective on solving Sylvester equation in the ideal conditions. In this paper, in order to realize the predefined-time convergence of the ZNN model and modify its robustness, two new noise-tolerant ZNNs (NNTZNNs) are established by devising two novelly constructed nonlinear activation functions (AFs) to find the accurate solution of the time-variant Sylvester equation in the presence of various noises. Unlike the original ZNN models activated by known AFs, the proposed two NNTZNN models are activated by two novel AFs, therefore, possessing the excellent predefined-time convergence and strong robustness even in the presence of various noises. Besides, the detailed theoretical analyses of the predefined-time convergence and robustness ability for the NNTZNN models are given by considering different kinds of noises. Simulation comparative results further verify the excellent performance of the proposed NNTZNN models, when applied to online solution of the time-variant Sylvester equation

Simultaneous identification, tracking control and disturbance rejection of uncertain nonlinear dynamics systems: A unified neural approach

Previous works of traditional zeroing neural networks (or termed Zhang neural networks, ZNN) show great success for solving specific time-variant problems of known systems in an ideal environment. However, it is still a challenging issue for the ZNN to effectively solve time-variant problems for uncertain systems without the prior knowledge. Simultaneously, the involvement of external disturbances in the neural network model makes it even hard for time-variant problem solving due to the intensively computational burden and low accuracy. In this paper, a unified neural approach of simultaneous identification, tracking control and disturbance rejection in the framework of the ZNN is proposed to address the time-variant tracking control of uncertain nonlinear dynamics systems (UNDS). The neural network model derived by the proposed approach captures hidden relations between inputs and outputs of the UNDS. The proposed model shows outstanding tracking performance even under the influences of uncertainties and disturbances. Then, the continuous-time model is discretized via Euler forward formula (EFF). The corresponding discrete algorithm and block diagram are also presented for the convenience of implementation. Theoretical analyses on the convergence property and discretization accuracy are presented to verify the performance of the neural network model. Finally, numerical studies, robot applications, performance comparisons and tests demonstrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed neural network model for the time-variant tracking control of UNDS

MATLAB SIMULATION OF THE HYBRID OF RECURSIVE NEURAL DYNAMICS FOR ONLINE MATRIX INVERSION

A novel kind of a hybrid recursive neural implicit dynamics for real-time matrix inversion has been recently proposed and investigated. Our goal is to compare the hybrid recursive neural implicit dynamics on the one hand, and conventional explicit neural dynamics on the other hand. Simulation results show that the hybrid model can coincide better with systems in practice and has higher abilities in representing dynamic systems. More importantly, hybrid model can achieve superior convergence performance in comparison with the existing dynamic systems, specifically recently-proposed Zhang dynamics. This paper presents the Simulink model of a hybrid recursive neural implicit dynamics and gives a simulation and comparison to the existing Zhang dynamics for real-time matrix inversion. Simulation results confirm a superior convergence of the hybrid model compared to Zhang model
