Integrated computational intelligent paradigm for nonlinear electric circuit models using neural networks, genetic algorithms and sequential quadratic programming

© 2019, Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature. In this paper, a novel application of biologically inspired computing paradigm is presented for solving initial value problem (IVP) of electric circuits based on nonlinear RL model by exploiting the competency of accurate modeling with feed forward artificial neural network (FF-ANN), global search efficacy of genetic algorithms (GA) and rapid local search with sequential quadratic programming (SQP). The fitness function for IVP of associated nonlinear RL circuit is developed by exploiting the approximation theory in mean squared error sense using an approximate FF-ANN model. Training of the networks is conducted by integrated computational heuristic based on GA-aided with SQP, i.e., GA-SQP. The designed methodology is evaluated to variants of nonlinear RL systems based on both AC and DC excitations for number of scenarios with different voltages, resistances and inductance parameters. The comparative studies of the proposed results with Adam’s numerical solutions in terms of various performance measures verify the accuracy of the scheme. Results of statistics based on Monte-Carlo simulations validate the accuracy, convergence, stability and robustness of the designed scheme for solving problem in nonlinear circuit theory

Metaheuristics algorithms to identify nonlinear Hammerstein model: A decade survey

Metaheuristics have been acknowledged as an effective solution for many difficult issues related to optimization. The metaheuristics, especially swarm’s intelligence and evolutionary computing algorithms, have gained popularity within a short time over the past two decades. Various metaheuristics algorithms are being introduced on an annual basis and applications that are more new are gradually being discovered. This paper presents a survey for the years 2011-2021 on multiple metaheuristics algorithms, particularly swarm and evolutionary algorithms, to identify a nonlinear block-oriented model called the Hammerstein model, mainly because such model has garnered much interest amidst researchers to identify nonlinear systems. Besides introducing a complete survey on the various population-based algorithms to identify the Hammerstein model, this paper also investigated some empirically verified actual process plants results. As such, this article serves as a guideline on the fundamentals of identifying nonlinear block-oriented models for new practitioners, apart from presenting a comprehensive summary of cutting-edge trends within the context of this topic area

Design of neuro-computing paradigms for nonlinear nanofluidic systems of MHD Jeffery–Hamel flow

© 2018 Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers In this paper, a neuro-heuristic technique by incorporating artificial neural network models (NNMs) optimized with sequential quadratic programming (SQP) is proposed to solve the dynamics of nanofluidics system based on magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) Jeffery–Hamel (JHF) problem involving nano-meterials. Original partial differential equations associated with MHD–JHF are transformed into third order ordinary differential equations based model. Furthermore, the transformed system has been implemented by the differential equation NNMs (DE-NNMs) which are constructed by a defined error function using log-sigmoid, radial basis and tan-sigmoid windowing kernels. The parameters of DE-NNM of nanofluidics system are optimized with SQP algorithm. To illustrate the performance of the proposed system, MHD–JHF models with base-fluid water mixed with alumina, silver and copper nanoparticles for different Hartman numbers, Reynolds numbers, angles of the channel and volume fractions with three different proposed DE-NNMs are designed to evaluate. For comparison purpose, the proposed results with reference numerical solutions of Adams solver illustrate their worth. Statistical inferences through different performance indices are given to demostrate the accuracy, stability and robustness of the stochastic solvers
