Continuous and discrete zeroing neural network for a class of multilayer dynamic system

Multilayer dynamic system is widely used in industry and other fields. Different from common systems, multilayer dynamic system has complex structure leading to challenges for research. In this paper, we study zeroing neural network(ZNN) models for a class of multilayer dynamic system(MLDS). In the case of continuous time, continuous ZNN models for continuous MLDS (MLDS-linear-ZNN, MLDS-nonlinear-ZNN and MLDS-noise-tolerant-ZNN) are proposed based on ZNN design method with theoretical analysis. In the discrete case concurrently, discrete ZNN models (MLDS-linear-mDZNN, MLDS-nonlinear-mDZNN and MLDS-noise-tolerant-mDZNN) with m-step ZeaD formula, a new Zhang et al. discretization formula presented in previous paper, are put forward and corresponding discrete algorithms are obtained. Finally, numerical experiments are carried out to verify the superiority and maneuverability of ZNN models for MLDS proposed in this paper.(c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
