Adaptive neural networks control for uncertain parabolic distributed parameter systems with nonlinear periodic time-varying parameter

This paper studies the problem of adaptive neural networks control(ANNC) for uncertain parabolic distributed parameter systems(DPSs) with nonlinear periodic time-varying parameter(NPTVP). Firstly, the uncertain nonlinear dynamic and unknown periodic TVP are represented by using neural networks(NNs) and Fourier series expansion(FSE), respectively. Secondly, based on the ANNC and reparameterization approaches, two control algorithms are designed to make the uncertain parabolic DPSs with NPTVP asymptotically stable. The sufficient conditions of the asymptotically stable for the resulting closed-loop systems are also derived. Finally, a simulation is carried out to verify the effectiveness of the two control algorithms designed in this work.

Evaluation of the robusticity of mutual fund performance in Ghana using Enhanced Resilient Backpropagation Neural Network(ERBPNN)and Fast Adaptive Neural Network Classifier(FANNC)

Mutual fund investment continues to play a very important role in the world financial markets especially in developing economies where the capital market is not very matured and tolerant of small scale investors.The total mutual fund asset globally as at the end of 2016 was in excess of$40.4 trillion.Despite its success there are uncertainties as to whether mutual funds in Ghana obtain optimal performance relative to their counterparts in United States,Luxembourg,Ireland,France,Australia,United Kingdom,Japan,China and Brazil.We contribute to the extant literature on mutual fund performance evaluation using a collection of more sophisticated econometric models.We selected six continuous historical years that is 2010-2011,2012-2013 and 2014-2015 to construct a mutual fund performance evaluation model utilizing the fast adaptive neural network classifier(FANNC),and to compare our results with those from an enhanced resilient back propagation neural networks(ERBPNN)model.Our FANNC model outperformed the existing models in terms of processing time and error rate.This makes it ideal for financial application that involves large volume of data and routine updates.

Neural Network Based Adaptive Tracking of Nonlinear Multi-Agent System

In this paper,the problems of robust consensus tracking control for the second-order multi-agent system with uncertain model parameters and nonlinear disturbances are considered.An adaptive control strategy is proposed to smooth the agent’s trajectory,and the neural network is constructed to estimate the system’s unknown components.The consensus conditions are demonstrated for tracking a leader with nonlinear dynamics under an adaptive control algorithm in the absence of model uncertainties.Then,the results are extended to the system with unknown time-varying disturbances by applying the neural network estimation to compensating for the uncertain parts of the agents’models.Update laws are designed based on the Lyapunov function terms to ensure the effectiveness of robust control.Finally,the theoretical results are verified by numerical simulations,and a comparative experiment is conducted,showing that the trajectories generated by the proposed method exhibit less oscillation and converge faster.

Position detection of BLDC rotor based on adaptive wavelet neural network

Brushless DC(BLDC)motor is a complex nonlinear system,of which some parameters will also change during operation.Therefore,obtaining accurate rotor position directly through the line voltage becomes more difficult.So a new method is proposed in this paper which uses three line voltages as the input signal to identify the motor position based on adaptive wavelet neural network(WNN)and the differential evolution(DE)algorithm to optimize WNN structures,thus realizing the improvement of accuracy,exactness of the communication signals and convergence speed of the rotor position identification.Finally,both simulations and experimental results show that the proposed method has high accuracy of recognizing rotor position and strong orientation ability.

Modeling and Robust Backstepping Sliding Mode Control with Adaptive RBFNN for a Novel Coaxial Eight-rotor UAV

This paper focuses on the robust attitude control of a novel coaxial eight-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles(UAV) which has higher drive capability as well as greater robustness against disturbances than quad-rotor UAV. The dynamical and kinematical model for the coaxial eight-rotor UAV is developed, which has never been proposed before. A robust backstepping sliding mode controller(BSMC) with adaptive radial basis function neural network(RBFNN) is proposed to control the attitude of the eightrotor UAV in the presence of model uncertainties and external disturbances. The combinative method of backstepping control and sliding mode control has improved robustness and simplified design procedure benefiting from the advantages of both controllers. The adaptive RBFNN as the uncertainty observer can effectively estimate the lumped uncertainties without the knowledge of their bounds for the eight-rotor UAV. Additionally, the adaptive learning algorithm, which can learn the parameters of RBFNN online and compensate the approximation error, is derived using Lyapunov stability theorem. And then the uniformly ultimate stability of the eight-rotor system is proved. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed robust control method adopted in the novel coaxial eight-rotor UAV in the case of model uncertainties and external disturbances.

Cooperative Neuro Adaptive Control of Leader Following Uncertain Multi-Agent Systems with Unknown Hysteresis and Dead-Zone

In this paper,a cooperative adaptive control of leader-following uncertain nonlinear multiagent systems is proposed.The communication network is weighted undirected graph with fixed topology.The uncertain nonlinear model for each agent is a higher-order integrator with unknown nonlinear functions,unknown disturbances and unknown input actuators.Meanwhile,the gains of input actuators are unknown nonlinear functions with unknown sign.Two most common behaviors of input actuators in practical applications are hysteresis and dead-zone.In this paper,backlash-like hysteresis and dead-zone are used to model the input actuators.Using universal approximation theorem proved for neural networks,the unknown nonlinear functions are tackled.The unknown weights of neural networks are derived by proposing appropriate adaptive laws.To cope with modeling errors and disturbances an adaptive robust structure is proposed.Considering Lyapunov synthesis approach not only all the adaptive laws are derived but also it is proved that the closed-loop network is cooperatively semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded(CSUUB).In order to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed method,it is applied to agents modeled with highly nonlinear mathematical equations and inverted pendulums.Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method in dealing with both numerical and practical multi-agent systems.

Barrier Lyapunov Function-Based Finite-Time Dynamic Surface Control for Output-Constrained Nonstrict-Feedback Systems

This paper investigates a finite-time tracking problem for the uncertainty nonlinear systems in nonstrict-feedback form,in which the output signal is restricted in a region.Based on the barrier Lyapunov function and dynamic surface control scheme,a novel adaptive neural controller is proposed by using the finite-time Lyapunov technology.Unlike the aforementioned literature on finite time tracking control,the violation of system output constraint is avoided by combining the barrier Lyapunov function method with finite-time theory.The structural characteristics of neural network is introduced to expand the adaptive neural finite-time backstepping method to the uncertainty nonlinear systems in the non-strict form.Correspondingly,the dynamic surface control is introduced to cope with the problem of“explosion of complexity”inherent in conventional backstepping scheme.It is shown that the designed controller can achieve finite-time tracking control and all the variables in the closed-loop system are bounded with output constraint guaranteed form stability analysis and simulation results.

Weighted Heterogeneous Graph-Based Incremental Automatic Disease Diagnosis Method

The objective of this study is to construct a multi-department symptom-based automatic diagnosis model.However,it is dificult to establish a model to classify plenty of diseases and collect thousands of disease-symptom datasets simultaneously.Inspired by the thought of"knowledge graph is model",this study proposes to build an experience-infused knowledge model by continuously learning the experiential knowledge from data,and incrementally injecting it into the knowledge graph.Therefore,incremental learning and injection are used to solve the data collection problem,and the knowledge graph is modeled and containerized to solve the large-scale multi-classification problems.First,an entity linking method is designed and a heterogeneous knowledge graph is constructed by graph fusion.Then,an adaptive neural network model is constructed for each dataset,and the data is used for statistical initialization and model training.Finally,the weights and biases of the learned neural network model are updated to the knowledge graph.It is worth noting that for the incremental process,we consider both the data and class increments.We evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness of the model on the current dataset and the anti-forgetting ability on the historical dataset after class increment on three public datasets.Compared with the classical model,the proposed model improves the diagnostic accuracy of the three datasets by 5%,2%,and 15%on average,respectively.Meanwhile,the model under incremental learning has a better ability to resist forgetting.
