A New Approach to model Complex Systems: Cellular Neural Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cellular Neural Networks (CNNs) are an evolution of Cellular Automata and Neural Networks and have been traditionally used for pattern recognition. CNNs represent an exciting dimension of complexity in action, whereby the principles of local action, micro-diversity, and massive parallelism have been implemented in a new computing logic and related hardware. This paper introduces the basic features of CNNs and shows that Cellular Neural Networks (CNNs) constitute a powerful new paradigm for modeling complex systems. We follow the principles of good science by “docking” previous Cellular Automata results with the CNN approach. In particular we show that Duncan Watt’s CA model of diffusion of innovation can be replicated by using CNNs. We also show that the CNN approach can be generalized to model more complex problems.

An Approach of Artificial Neural Networks Modeling Based on Fuzzy Regression for Forecasting Purposes
In this paper, a new approach of modeling for Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) models based on the concepts of fuzzy regression is proposed. For this purpose, we reformulated ANN model as a fuzzy nonlinear regression model while it has advantages of both fuzzy regression and ANN models. Hence, it can be applied to uncertain, ambiguous, or complex environments due to its flexibility for forecas...

متن کاملDynamic Sliding Mode Control of Nonlinear Systems Using Neural Networks
Dynamic sliding mode control (DSMC) of nonlinear systems using neural networks is proposed. In DSMC the chattering is removed due to the integrator which is placed before the input control signal of the plant. However, in DSMC the augmented system is one dimension bigger than the actual system i.e. the states number of augmented system is more than the actual system and then to control of such ...

In this paper, linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach for synchronization of chaotic fuzzy cellular neural networks (FCNNs) with discrete and unbounded distributed delays based on sampled-data controlis investigated. Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional combining with the input delay approach as well as the free-weighting matrix approach are employed to derive several sufficient criteria in terms of...

In recent years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become one of the most promising tools in order to model complex hydrological processes such as the rainfall-runoff process. In many studies, ANNs have demonstrated superior results compared to alternative methods. ANNs are able to map underlying relationship between input and output data without prior understanding of the process under in...
متن کاملRobust stability of fuzzy Markov type Cohen-Grossberg neural networks by delay decomposition approach
In this paper, we investigate the delay-dependent robust stability of fuzzy Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with Markovian jumping parameter and mixed time varying delays by delay decomposition method. A new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) is constructed by nonuniformly dividing discrete delay interval into multiple subinterval, and choosing proper functionals with different weighting matr...
