An accelerated zeroing neural network for solving continuous coupled Lyapunov matrix equations.

In this paper, an improved zeroing neural network (ZNN) model is proposed to obtain the positive definite solutions of the continuous coupled Lyapunov matrix equations (CLMEs) associated with continuous‐time Markovian jump (CMJ) systems. To achieve this, a general ZNN model is established by constructing a matrix‐valued error function. Then, to accelerate the convergence rate of the proposed ZNN model, the latest estimation is introduced to obtain an improved ZNN model. Some convergence conditions have been derived for the presented improved ZNN model through Lyapunov theory. Comparisons among the improved ZNN model and the existing results are conducted to illustrate the advantages of the proposed improved ZNN model in numerical examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
