Efficient Predefined-Time Adaptive Neural Networks for Computing Time-Varying Tensor Moore-Penrose Inverse.

Abstract

This article proposes predefined-time adaptive neural network (PTANN) and event-triggered PTANN (ET-PTANN) models to efficiently compute the time-varying tensor Moore-Penrose (MP) inverse. The PTANN model incorporates a novel adaptive parameter and activation function, enabling it to achieve strongly predefined-time convergence. Unlike traditional time-varying parameters that increase over time, the adaptive parameter is proportional to the error norm, thereby better allocating computational resources and improving efficiency. To further enhance efficiency, the ET-PTANN model combines an event trigger with the evolution formula, resulting in the adjustment of step size and reduction of computation frequency compared to the PTANN model. By conducting mathematical derivations, the article derives the upper bound of convergence time for the proposed neural network models and determines the minimum execution interval for the event trigger. A simulation example demonstrates that the PTANN and ET-PTANN models outperform other related neural network models in terms of computational efficiency and convergence rate. Finally, the practicality of the PTANN and ET-PTANN models is demonstrated through their application for mobile sound source localization.
