Inverse-Free DZNN Models for Solving Time-Dependent Linear System via High-Precision Linear Six-Step Method.

Time-dependent linear system (TDLS) is usually encountered in scientific research, which is the mathematical formulation of many practical applications. Different from conventional inverse-need models, by utilizing zeroing neural network (ZNN) method twice, an inverse-free continuous ZNN (CZNN) model is developed for solving TDLS. For conveniently practical use, a discrete model is naturally desired. Superior to conventional discretization methods, a general linear six-step (LSS) method with the seventh-order precision and five variable parameters is proposed for the first time. Constraints about five variable parameters are theoretically analyzed to guarantee the efficacy of the general LSS method. Within constraints, 12 specific LSS methods are further developed. Aided with the general LSS method, an inverse-free discrete ZNN (DZNN) is proposed and termed DZNN-LSS model, and its precision is greatly improved compared with conventional discrete models. For comparison, three conventional discretization methods are also utilized to generate DZNN models. Detailed theoretical analyses are provided to prove the efficacy of relevant models. In addition, a specific TDLS example is considered to show the effectiveness and superiority of the DZNN-LSS model. More than that, applications to manipulator control and sound source localization are conducted to illustrate the applicability of the DZNN-LSS model.
