Abstract T his paper is to convince the usage of the nonlinear unit root tests when dealing with a nonlinear model. To do so, the stationary test for variables in a model titles “Fiscal Reaction Function in Iran” has been applied according to both the ordinary and the Nonlinear Dickey-Fuller (NDF) tests. Results show that while variables under investigation are stationary ...

A new architecture for Dynamic Synapse Neural Networks (DSNNs) has been introduced based on incorporating a continuous nonlinear mechanism to simulate synaptic neurotransmitter release, adding a nonlinear output layer, and utilizing a Gauss-Newton learning method to train the network. We applied this network to simulate two nonlinear dynamical systems and then tried to identify the dynamical sy...

This paper presents a sliding-mode-based diagonal recurrent cerebellar model articulation controller (SDRCMAC) for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) uncertain nonlinear systems. Sliding mode technology is used to reduce the dimension of the control system. Two learning stages are adopted to train the SDRCMAC and to improve the stability of the control system. Lyapunov stability theorem and ...

Optimal control using particle swarm optimization (PSO) is put forward in a parallel hybrid hydraulic excavator (PHHE). A power-train mathematical model of PHHE is illustrated along with the analysis of components' parameters. Then, the optimal control problem is addressed, and PSO algorithm is introduced to deal with this nonlinear optimal problem which contains lots of inequality/equality con...

In order to characterize synaptic transmission at a unitary facilitating synapse in the lobster cardiac ganglion, a new nonlinear systems analysis technique for discrete-input systems was developed and applied. From the output of the postsynaptic cell in response to randomly occurring presynaptic nerve impulses, a set of kernels, analogous to Wiener kernels, was computed. The kernels up to thir...

in the present paper the behavior of an elastically mounted cylinder in low and high mass-damping ratio is investigated. for high mass-damping ratio, a classical wake oscillator model is used. at the first, by neglecting all damping and nonlinear terms of this model, the possibility of using a linear model for determination of the lock-in range and the dominant mode is investigated. then, witho...

A quadratic discriminant classification technique was used to classify spectral measurements from vowels spoken by men, women, and children. The parameters used to train the discriminant classifier consisted of various combinations of fundamental frequency and the three lowest formant frequencies. Several nonlinear auditory transforms were evaluated. Unlike previous studies using a linear discr...
