Decentralized Adaptive Control of Large-Scale Non-affine Nonlinear Time-Delay Systems Using Neural Networks

In this paper, a decentralized adaptive neural controller is proposed for a class of large-scale nonlinear systems with unknown nonlinear, non-affine subsystems and unknown nonlinear time-delay interconnections. The stability of the closed loop system is guaranteed through Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability analysis. Simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed approache...

Adaptive Leader-Following and Leaderless Consensus of a Class of Nonlinear Systems Using Neural Networks

This paper deals with leader-following and leaderless consensus problems of high-order multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) multi-agent systems with unknown nonlinear dynamics in the presence of uncertain external disturbances. The agents may have different dynamics and communicate together under a directed graph. A distributed adaptive method is designed for both cases. The structures of the contro...

Recurrent spatiotemporal firing patterns in large spiking neural networks with ontogenetic and epigenetic processes.

Neural development and differentiation are characterized by an overproduction of cells and a transient exuberant number of connections followed by cell death and selective synaptic pruning. We simulated large spiking neural networks (10,000 units at its maximum size) with and without an ontogenetic process corresponding to a brief initial phase of apoptosis driven by an excessive firing rate mi...

Decentralized Interaction Estimators in Large Scale Power Systems with Neural Networks.

Application of ANN Technique for Interconnected Power System Load Frequency Control (RESEARCH NOTE)

This paper describes an application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to Load Frequency Control (LFC) of nonlinear power systems. Power systems, such as other industrial processes, have parametric uncertainties that for controller design had to take the uncertainties in to account. For this reason, in the design of LFC controller the idea of robust control theories are being used. To improve ...
