Design of H∞ performance state estimator for static neural networks with time-varying delay

Parameterized Luenberger-Type H∞ State Estimator for Delayed Static Neural Networks

This article proposes a new Luenberger-type state estimator that has parameterized observer gains dependent on the activation function, to improve the H_∞ state estimation performance of the static neural networks with time-varying delay. The nonlinearity of the activation function has a significant impact on stability analysis and robustness/performance. In the proposed state estimator, a parameter-dependent estimator gain is reconstructed by using the properties of the sector nonlinearity of the activation functions that are represented as linear combinations of weighting parameters. In the reformulated form, the constraints of the parameters for the activation function are considered in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii function and the improved reciprocally convex inequality, enhanced conditions for designing a new state estimator that guarantees H_∞ performance are derived through a parameterization technique. The compared results with recent studies demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness of the presented method.
