Design of Globally Robust Control for Biologically-Inspired Noisy Recurrent Neural Networks

Abstract

This chapter presents a theoretical design of how a global robust control is achieved in a class of noisy recurrent neural networks which is a promising method for modeling the behavior of biological motor-sensor systems. The approach is developed by using differential minimax game, inverse optimality, Lyapunov technique, and the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equation. In order to implement the theory of differential games into neural networks, we consider the vector of external inputs as a player and the vector of internal noises (or disturbances or modeling errors) as an opposing player. The proposed design achieves global inverse optimality with respect to some meaningful cost functional, global disturbance attenuation, as well as global asymptotic stability provided no disturbance. Finally, numerical examples are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design.
