Nonlinear observers based on the well-known concept of minimum energy estimation are discussed. The approach relies an output injection operator determined by a Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation whose solution is subsequently approximated neural network. A suitable optimization problem allowing to learn network parameters proposed and numerically investigated for linear nonlinear oscillators.

In the present work, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was used to study the quantitative structure retention relationship (QSRR) of retention index (RI) of some volatile compounds in natural cocoa and conched chocolate powder. Molecular structural descriptors are selected using genetic algorithm to construct the nonlinear QSRR models, kernel partial least squares PLS (KPLS) and Levenber...

Prediction of economic variables is a basic component not only for economic models, but also for many business decisions. But it is difficult to produce accurate predictions in times of economic crises, which cause nonlinear effects in the data. Such evidence appeared in the German automobile industry as a consequence of the financial crisis in 2008/09, which influenced exchange rates and a...

In this paper, recurrent neural network is used for path planning in the joint space of the robot with obstacle in the workspace of the robot. To design the neural network, first a performance index has been defined as sum of square of error tracking of final executor. Then, obstacle avoidance scheme is presented based on its space coordinate and its minimum distance between the obstacle and ea...

Introduction: The main objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of preceding pictorial stimulus on the emotional autonomic responses of the subsequent one. Methods: To this effect, physiological signals, including Electrocardiogram (ECG), Pulse Rate (PR), and Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) were collected. As these signals have random and chaotic nature, nonlinear dynamics...

Methods in multivariate statistical analysis are essential for working with large amounts of geophysical data— data from observational arrays, from satellites or from numerical model output. In classical multivariate statistical analysis, there is a hierarchy of methods, starting with linear regression (LR) at the base, followed by principal component analysis (PCA), and finally canonical corre...

The performance of recurrence networks and symbolic networks to detect weak nonlinearities in time series is compared to the nonlinear prediction error. For the synthetic data of the Lorenz system, the network measures show a comparable performance. In the case of relatively short and noisy real-world data from active galactic nuclei, the nonlinear prediction error yields more robust results th...

logistic network design is one of the most important strategic decisions in supply chain management that has recently attracted the attention of many researchers. transportation network design is then one of the most important fields of logistic network. this study is concerned with designing a multi-stage and multi-product logistic network. at first, a mixed integer nonlinear programming model...

Neural networks have been one of the most successful recognition models for automatic speech recognition systems because of their high discriminative power and adaptive learning. In many speech recognition tasks, especially for discrete speech classification, it has been shown that neural networks are very powerful for classifying short-time acoustic-phonetic units, such as individual phonemes....
