Stable linearization using multilayer neural networks (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Delgado, A., Kambhampati, C., & Warwick, K. (1996, September). Stable linearization using multilayer neural networks. Presented at UKACC International Conference on Control. Control '96, Exeter, UK

The main limitation of linearization theory that prevents its application in practical problems is the need for an exact knowledge of the plant. This requirement is eliminated and it is shown that a multilayer network can synthesise the state feedbac... Read More about Stable linearization using multilayer neural networks.
