Robust backpropagation training algorithm for multilayered neural tracking controller
1School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
Abstract:
A robust backpropagation training algorithm with a dead zone scheme is used for the online tuning of the neuralnetwork (NN) tracking control system. This assures the convergence of the multilayered NN in the presence of disturbance. It is proved in this paper that the selection of a smaller range of the dead zone leads to a smaller estimate error of the NN, and hence a smaller tracking error of the NN tracking controller. The proposed algorithm is applied to a three-layered network with adjustable weights and a complete convergence proof is provided. The results can also be extended to the network with more hidden layers.

Propagation of Action Potentials
Neurons (nerve cells) have a resting membrane potential, with a slightly negative charge inside compared to outside. This is maintained by ion channels, such as sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) channels, which control the flow of ions. When a stimulus, like a touch or a signal from another neuron, triggers the neuron, sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to...
