A tracking controller using multi-layered neural networks

This paper addresses the problem of designing a neural network based controller for a discrete-time nonlinear dynamical system. Using two multi-layered neural networks we first design an indirect controller the weights of which are updated by the informations obtained from system identification. The weight update is executed by parameter optimization method under Lagrangian formulation. For the nonlinear dynamical system, we define several cost functions and by computer simulations analyze the control performances of them and the effects of penalty-weighting values.
