Identification of nonlinear dynamic system

This article presents a theoretical framework for the identification of nonlinear dynamic MISO systems with orthonormal base function models on fundamental basics of the Volterra theory. In the past the Volterra theory was used for the identification of nonlinear dynamic SISO systems (e.g. Hammerstein and Wiener models). In principle it is possible to extend these approaches to systems with more than one input (i.e. MISO systems). In former times this failed due to a lack of computational performance. In this paper an approach is presented which allows the identification of arbitrary coupled Hammerstein and Wiener models with multiple inputs. Some fundamental considerations for the identification of MISO systems based on arbitrary coupled Hammerstein models are made and extended to MISO systems based on arbitrary coupled Wiener models. This extended Volterra theory results in equations where the unknown parameters can be separated of the input values in a linear manner. In order to approximate the truncated impulse responses of the linear dynamic systems and to reduce the number of unknown parameters orthonormal base functions (OBFs) are introduced. As an example the proposed identification method is applied to a MISO system based on forward and backward coupled Hammerstein and Wiener models.

Linear stabilization of the programmed motions of non-linear controlled dynamical systems under parametric perturbations

Nonlinear dynamic systems are characterized with uncertainties in terms of structure and parameters. These uncertainties cannot be described by deterministic models. The modelling and identification of nonlinear dynamic systems through the measured experimental data is a problem in engineering and technical processes. Therefore, field of system identification have become an important area of research. Fuzzy technology is an effective tool for dealing with complex nonlinear processes that are characterized with uncertain factors. In this paper, a novel approach based on Local Linear method learning in dynamical filter weights neurons for the identification of non-linear dynamic systems is presented. The fuzzy wavelet neural network combines wavelet theory with fuzzy logic and neural networks. Learning fuzzy rules and parameter update in fuzzy wavelet neural network is based on gradient decent method. The proposed approach is said to be Fuzzy Local Linear Wavelet Neural Network based model. It has been explained through examples. The structure is tested for the identification with both wavelet neural network and Fuzzy Local Linear Wavelet Neural Network that shows the comparative performance.KeywordsSystem IdentificationNon-linear SystemWavelet Neural NetworkFuzzy Wavelet Neural NetworkLocal Linear Wavelet Neural NetworkFuzzy Local Linear Wavelet Neural Network

A method for identifying nonlinear dynamic systems with noise is proposed by using probabilistic universal learning networks (PrULNs). PrULNs are extensions of universal learning networks (ULNs). ULNs form a superset of neural networks and were proposed to provide a universal framework for modeling and control of nonlinear large-scale complex systems. But the ULN does not provide any stochastic characteristics of the signals propagating through it. The PrULNs are equipped with machinery to calculate stochastic properties of signals and to train network parameters so that the signals behave with the pre-specified stochastic properties. On the other hand it is generally recognized that there exists an overfitting problem when identification of nonlinear dynamic systems with noise is done by neural networks. In this paper, it is shown from simulation results of identification of a nonlinear robot dynamics that PrULNs are useful for avoiding the overfitting.

In this study, nonlinear dynamic systems are identified by using artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). ABC algorithm is used in training and updating of ANFIS. The most appropriate model is formed by optimizing the antecedent and conclusion parameters that are found in the structure of ANFIS. The dynamic systems that consist of one input and one output (SISO) are used for the identification of nonlinear dynamic systems. The obtained results are compared with fuzzy neural network, neural network and ANFIS-based methods such as RSONFIN, DFNN, RSEFNN-LF, WRFNN and RFNN. The simulation results show that the proposed method is successful in the identification of considered nonlinear dynamic systems.

Identification of discontinuous block-oriented nonlinear dynamic systems

A procedure based on the use of artificial neural networks for the identification of nonlinear dynamic systems is developed and applied to the damped Duffing oscillator under deterministic excitation. The “generalization” ability of neural networks is invoked to predict the response of the same nonlinear oscillator under stochastic excitations of differing magnitude. The analogy between the neural network approach and a qualitatively similar nonparametric identification technique previously developed by the authors is illustrated. Some of the computational aspects of identification by neural networks, as well as their fault-tolerant nature, are discussed. It is shown that neural networks provide high-fidelity mathematical models of structure-unknown nonlinear systems encountered in the applied mechanics field.

This paper compares radial basis function networks for identification of nonlinear dynamic systems with classical methods derived from the Volterra series. The performance of these different approaches, such as Hammerstein, Wiener and NDE models, is analysed. Since the centres and variances of the Gaussian radial basis functions will be fixed before learning and only the weights are learned, a linear optimization problem arises. Therefore training the network and parameter estimation becomes comparable in computational effort. It is shown that the classical methods can compete or even perform better than the neural network, if the assumptions for the structure are valid. However, in practical applications when the structure is not known the radial basis function network performs much better than the classical methods.

Discovering nonlinear PDEs with sparse identification of nonlinear dynamical systems (SINDy) is hindered by high dimensionality, noise, and expensive data acquisition. We propose the greedy sampling neural network for sparse identification of nonlinear PDEs (GN-SINDy), a three–stage framework that integrates strategic sampling, differentiable surrogate modelling, and sparse equation discovery. First, a two–way Q-DEIM–based greedy strategy selects maximally informative space–time samples from snapshot data, drastically reducing data requirements. Second, a deep neural network (DNN) is trained as a differentiable surrogate of the solution field, enabling noise–robust analytic derivatives via automatic differentiation. Third, sparse regression with sparsity–promoting estimators [Brunton, S. L., Proctor, J. L., & Kutz, J. N. (2016a). Discovering governing equations from data by sparse identification of nonlinear dynamical systems. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 113(15), 3932–3937; Rudy, S. H., Brunton, S. L., Proctor, J. L., & Kutz, J. N. (2017). Data-driven discovery of partial differential equations. Science Advances, 3(4), e1602614.] is applied to recover the governing PDE. Building on the DeepMoD paradigm, GN-SINDy embeds greedy sampling into data acquisition and stabilises coefficient estimation through neural–enhanced differentiation. We analyze noise robustness, structural stability, and QR–based sampling strategies to guide sampler and hyperparameter selection. Experiments on Burgers', Allen–Cahn, and Korteweg–de Vries equations show that GN-SINDy reliably recovers governing PDEs using under 1 % of the data, outperforming DeepMoD in efficiency, support recovery, and robustness to noise.

In this paper, nonlinear dynamic system identification by using multiobjectively selected RBF network is considered. RBF networks are widely used as a model structure for nonlinear systems. The determination of its structure that is the number of basis functions is prior important step in system identification, and the tradeoff between model complexity and accuracy exists in this problem. By using multiobjective evolutionary algorithms, the candidates of the RBF network structure are obtained in the sense of Pareto optimality. We discuss an application to system identification by using such RBF networks having Pareto optimal structures. Some numerical simulations for nonlinear dynamic systems are carried out to show the applicability of the proposed approach.

In this paper, modeling and identification of nonlinear dynamic systems using neuro-fractional Hammerstein model are considered. The proposed model consists of the neural networks (NNs) as the nonlinear subsystem and the fractional-order state space (FSS) as the linear subsystem. The identification procedure consists of a hybrid frequency-/time-domain approach based on the input–output data acquired from the system. First in the frequency domain, the fractional order and fractional degree of the FSS subsystem are determined offline using an iterative linear optimization algorithm. Then, in the time domain, the state-space matrices of the FSS as well as parameters of the NN are estimated using Lyapunov stability theory. Moreover, in order to use only the input–output data from the system, a fractional-order linear observer based on auxiliary model idea is utilized to estimate the system states. The convergence and stability analysis of the proposed method are provided. Simulating and experimental examples show superior performance of the proposed method as compared with the Hammerstein models reported in the literature.

The paper proposes a general framework for modelling non-linear dynamic systems based on a support vector machine (SVM): it first provides a short introduction to regression SVMs, then uses a standard SVM to model a non-linear auto-regressive and moving average (NARMAX) model, and contains a theoretical discussion about its robustness under low and high noise by its properties. The simulation results indicate that the SVM method can reduce the effect of samples and noise for modelling, and its performance is better than that of the neural network modelling method.

An approach to fuzzy identification of discrete-time nonlinear dynamical systems with a suitable formulation, based on the Takagi-Sugeno (TS) model is proposed. To form the fuzzy model from samples of a nonlinear dynamical system where the consequent parameters are modified by an adaptive weighted instrumental variable (WIV) algorithm based on the numerically robust orthogonal Householder transformation, offline and online schemes are developed. To show the consistency, high speed of convergence, tracking of the output that vary with time and the high accuracy of the output estimate, important in adaptive control design applications, simulations are performed.
