in this paper we propose a method for solving some well-known classes of lane-emden type equations which are nonlinear ordinary differential equations on the semi-in nite domain. the proposed approach is based on an unsupervised combined arti cial neural networks (ucann) method. firstly, the trial solutions of the differential equations are written in the form of feed-forward neural networks co...

In this paper we present an improved neural network to solve strictly convex quadratic programming(QP) problem. The proposed model is derived based on a piecewise equation correspond to optimality condition of convex (QP) problem and has a lower structure complexity respect to the other existing neural network model for solving such problems. In theoretical aspect, stability and global converge...

Abstract: In this research, at first, the natural frequencies of a cracked beam are obtained analytically, then, location and depth of a crack in beam is identified by neural network method. The research is applied on a beam with an open crack for three different boundary conditions. For this purpose, at first, the natural frequencies of the cracked beam are obtained analytically, to get the ex...

the hybrid fuzzy differential equations have a wide range of applications in science and engineering. we consider the problem of nding their numerical solutions by using a novel hybrid method based on fuzzy neural network. here neural network is considered as a part of large eld called neural computing or soft computing. the proposed algorithm is illustrated by numerical examples and the resu...

‎By p-power (or partial p-power) transformation‎, ‎the Lagrangian function in nonconvex optimization problem becomes locally convex‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we present a neural network based on an NCP function for solving the nonconvex optimization problem‎. An important feature of this neural network is the one-to-one correspondence between its equilibria and KKT points of the nonconvex optimizatio...

infiltration rate is one of the most important soil physical parameters and is a basic input data in irrigation and drainage projects. although, a number of theoretical or experimental based equations are presented to describe this phenomenon but the evaluation of some new sciences such as artificial neural networks, for prediction of the phenomenon can be investigated. generally, the infiltrat...

in this study the wavelet neural network (wnn) and artificial neural network (ann) were used to simulate barley breakage percentage in combine harvester. the models have been trained using the same data conditions. air temperature, thresher cylinder speed, distance between thresher cylinder and concave (back and forth) and the percentage of barely moisture were as the input variables. the resul...

cox regression model serves as a statistical method for analyzing the survival data, which requires some options such as hazard proportionality. in recent decades, artificial neural network model has been increasingly applied to predict survival data. this research was conducted to compare cox regression and artificial neural network models in prediction of kidney transplant survival. the prese...
