Control of Dynamic Systems via Neural Networks

Abstract

This report is devoted to the problem of controlling a class of linear time-invariant dynamic systems via controllers based on additive neural network models. In particular, the tracking and stabilization problems are considered. First, we show how to transform the problem of tracking a reference signal by a control system into the stabilization problem. Then, some concepts from the variable structure control theory are utilized to construct stabilizing controllers. In order to facilitate the stability analysis of the closed-loop systems we employ a special state space transformation. This transformation allows us also to reveal connections between the proposed controllers and the additive neural network models
