An efficient neurodynamic model to solve nonconvex nonlinear optimization problems and its applications

Abstract

This paper presents a recurrent neural network for solving nonconvex nonlinear optimization problems subject to nonlinear inequality constraints. First, the p‐power transformation is exploited for local convexification of the Lagrangian function in nonconvex nonlinear optimization problem. Next, the proposed neural network is constructed based on the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) optimality conditions and the projection function. An important property of this neural network is that its equilibrium point corresponds to the optimal solution of the original problem. By utilizing an appropriate Lyapunov function, it is shown that the proposed neural network is stable in the sense of Lyapunov and convergent to the global optimal solution of the original problem. Also, the sensitivity of the convergence is analysed by changing the scaling factors. Compared with other existing neural networks for such problem, the proposed neural network has more advantages such as high accuracy of the obtained solutions, fast convergence, and low complexity. Finally, simulation results are provided to show the benefits of the proposed model, which compare to or outperform existing models.

“…It has the advantages of good robustness, strong anti-interference, high accuracy, and wide applicability to many fields [52,53]. Even though a solution to optimal projection direction is a highly complicated nonlinear optimization problem, there are multiple mature algorithms to deal with this problem [54][55][56][57]. In our paper, a relatively mature genetic algorithm is selected as the basic algorithm to solve the best projection direction (RAGA: Real-coded Accelerating Genetic Algorithm).…”
