Abstract

This paper introduces a novel fusion neural architecture and the use of a novel Lyapunov theory-based algorithm, for the online approximation of the dynamics of nonlinear systems. The proposed neural system, in combination with the proposed update rule of the neural weights, achieves fast convergence of the identification process, ensuring at the same time stability of the error system in the sense of Lyapunov theory. The fusion neural system combines the features that are extracted from two-independent neural streams, a feedforward and a diagonal recurrent one, satisfying different design criteria of the identification task. Simulation results for five cases reveal the approximation strength of both proposed fusion neural architecture and proposed learning algorithm. Also, additional experiments demonstrate the effectiveness in cases of parameter variations and additive noise.
