摘要

Solving Sylvester equation is a common algebraic problem in mathematics and control theory. Different from the traditional fixed-parameter recurrent neural networks, such as gradient-based recurrent neural networks or Zhang neural networks, a novel varying-parameter recurrent neural network, [called varying-parameter convergent-differential neural network (VP-CDNN)] is proposed in this paper for obtaining the online solution to the time-varying Sylvester equation. With time passing by, this kind of new varying-parameter neural network can achieve super-exponential performance. Computer simulation comparisons between the fixed-parameter neural networks and the proposed VP-CDNN via using different kinds of activation functions demonstrate that the proposed VP-CDNN has better convergence and robustness properties.
