An adaptive version of growing and pruning RBF neural network has been used to predict the system output and implement Linear Model-Based Predictive Controller (LMPC) and Non-linear Model-based Predictive Controller (NMPC) strategies. A radial-basis neural network with growing and pruning capabilities is introduced to carry out on-line model identification.An Unscented Kal...

in this article, the linear array (with 20 elements in the horizontal orientation) of microstrip antenna is examined with horizontal polarization. the set includes three microstrip substrates. there is a power network in two lower substrates and microstrip patches in the upper substrate. excitation of patches has been done as coupled through the power network in two lower substrates. using the ...

Bankruptcy is an event with strong impacts on management, shareholders, employees, creditors, customers and other stakeholders, so as bankruptcy challenges the country both socially and economically. Therefore, correct prediction of bankruptcy is of high importance in the financial world. This research intends to investigate financial crisis prediction power using models based on Neural Network...

Multivariable regression and artificial neural network procedures were used to modeling of the input power and gas holdup of flotation. The stepwise nonlinear equations have shown greater accuracy than linear ones where they can predict input power, and gas holdup with the correlation coefficients of 0.79 thereby 0.51 in the linear, and R2=0.88 versus 0.52 in the non linear, respectively. ...

In this paper we solve a wide rang of Semidefinite Programming (SDP) Problem by using Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). SDP is an important numerical tool for analysis and synthesis in systems and control theory. First we reformulate the problem to a linear programming problem, second we reformulate it to a first order system of ordinary differential equations. Then a recurrent neural network...

Consider a communication network in which certain source nodes multicast information to other nodes on the network in the multihop fashion where every node can pass on any of its received data to others. We are interested in how fast each node can receive the complete information, or equivalently, what the information rate arriving at each node is. Allowing a node to encode its received data be...

The aim of this study is to introduce the Incremental Linear Controllers Network (ILCN). This algorithm consists of a linear controllers network (LCN) and a progressive control design algorithm (PCD). The LCN is a network of linear controllers each one being valid for a diierent operating region of the system. Such a control system can be used for the control of a (possibly discontinuous non li...

a new retrofit targeting procedure, based on pinch technology has been developed. the new procedure considers existing structure of a given network and finds the most compatible configuration with the network. to achieve this aim, the procedure uses a linear programming technique that maximize the compatibility. good compatibility between old and new networks helps to make the best use of capit...
