Radial Basis Function Networks (RBFNs) have been successfully employed in several function approximation and pattern recognition problems. In RBFNs, radial basis functions are used to compute the activation of artificial neurons. The use of different radial basis functions in RBFN has been reported in the literature. Here, the use of the q-Gaussian function as a radial basis function in RBFNs i...

We introduce a master–worker framework for parallel global optimization of computationally expensive functions using response surface models. In particular, we parallelize two radial basis function (RBF) methods for global optimization, namely, the RBF method by Gutmann [Gutmann, H.M., 2001a. A radial basis function method for global optimization. Journal of Global Optimization 19(3), 201–227] ...

abstract in this research, a radial basis function artificial neural network (rbf-ann) model was developed to predict the hot deformation flow curves of api x65 pipeline steel. the results of the developed model was compared with the results of a new phenomenological model that has recently been developed based on a power function of zener-hollomon parameter and a third order polynomial functio...

Adaptive communication is one of the methods used for high rate communication with efficient spectrum efficiency and with improved accuracy for future wireless communication systems. In this paper, we propose an adaptive modulated Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system based on Radial Basis Function (RBF) and then their performance (MSE) and classification accuracy is evaluate...

We have developed a new algorithm, RBF-MREIT, for Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MREIT) by applying the radial basis function (RBF) network and Simplex method. RBF-MREIT uses only one component of the measured magnetic flux density to reconstruct the conductivity images, and provides a solution to the rotation problem in MREIT. The proposed algorithm is tested on a three-sp...

The behavior of Radial Basis Function (RBF) Networks greatly depends on how the center points of the basis functions are selected. In this work we investigate the use of instance reduction techniques, originally developed to reduce the storage requirements of instance based learners, for this purpose. Five Instance-Based Reduction Techniques were used to determine the set of center points, and ...

The applicability of the radial basis function (RBF) type function of artificial neural networks (ANNS) approach for re-estimate the Box, Traingle, Epanechnikov and Normal densities. We propose an application of QLP decomposition model to reduce to the ...

Despite such very appealing features of the radial basis function (RBF) as inherent meshfree and independent of dimension and geometry, the various RBF-based schemes [1] of solving partial differential equations (PDE’s) still confront some deficiencies. For instances, the lack of easy-to-use spectral convergent RBFs, ill-conditioning and costly evaluation of full interpolation matrix. The purpo...

In this paper, we proposed a method to design a model-following adaptive controller for linear/nonlinear plants. Radial basis function neural networks (RBF-NNs), which are known for their stable learning capability and fast training, are used to identify linear/nonlinear plants. Simulation results show that the proposed method is effective in controlling both linear and nonlinear plants with di...

Very few studies involve how to construct the efficient RBFs by means of problem features. Recently the present author presented general solution RBF (GS-RBF) methodology to create operator-dependent RBFs successfully [1]. On the other hand, the normal radial basis function (RBF) is defined via Euclidean space distance function or the geodesic distance [2]. This purpose of this note is to redef...
