In this paper, we propose a genetic algorithm based design procedure for a multi layer feed forward neural network. A hierarchical genetic algorithm is used to evolve both the neural networks topology and weighting parameters. Compared with traditional genetic algorithm based designs for neural networks, the hierarchical approach addresses several deficiencies, including a feasibility check highlighted in literature. A multi objective cost function is used herein to optimize the performance and topology of the evolved neural network simultaneously. In the prediction of Mackey Glass chaotic time series, the networks designed by the proposed approach prove to be competitive, or even superior, to traditional learning algorithms for the multi layer Perceptron networks and radial basis function networks. Based upon the chosen cost function, a linear weight combination decision making approach has been applied to derive an approximated Pareto optimal solution set. Therefore, designing a set of neural networks can be considered as solving a two objective optimization problem.

The stochastic Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) plays an important role in array processing because several advanced high-resolution direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation methods are known to achieve this bound asymptotically. In the paper, the stochastic CRB on the DOA estimation accuracy is studied in the general case of an arbitrary unknown noise field parameterised by a vector of unknowns. Explicit closed-form expressions for the CRB are derived and its properties are examined theoretically and by practically relevant numerical examples.

Using optimization tools such as genetic algorithms to construct a fuzzy expert system (FES), focusing only on its accuracy without considering comprehensibility may result in a system that is not easy to understand or the so called a black box model. To exploit the transparency features of FESs for explanation in higher-level knowledge representation, a FES should provide high comprehensibility while preserving its accuracy. The completeness of fuzzy sets and rule structures should also be considered to guarantee that every data point has a response output. This paper proposes some quantitative measures to determine the degree of the accuracy, comprehensibility, and completeness of FESs. These quantitative measures are then used as a fitness function for a genetic algorithm in an optimally built FES.

The growing demand in system reliability and survivability under failures has urged ever-increasing research effort on the development of fault diagnosis and accommodation. In this paper, the on-line fault tolerant control problem for dynamic systems under unanticipated failures is investigated from a realistic point of view without any specific assumption on type of system dynamical structure or failure scenarios. The sufficient condition for system on-line stability under catastrophic failures has been derived using the discrete-time Lyapunov stability theory. Based upon the existing control theory and the modern intelligent techniques, an on-line fault accommodation control strategy is proposed to deal with the desired trajectory-tracking problems for systems suffering from various unknown and unanticipated catastrophic failures. To investigate the feasibility of the developed technique for unanticipated fault accommodation in real hardware under the real-time environment, an on-line fault tolerant control test bed has been constructed to validate the proposed technology. Both on-line simulations and the real-time experiment show encouraging results and promising futures of on-line real-time fault tolerant control based solely upon insufficient information of the system dynamics and the failure modes.

In this paper a hierarchical architecture that combines a high degree of reconfigurability and long-term memory is proposed as a fault tolerant control algorithm for complex nonlinear systems. Dual heuristic programming (DHP) is used for adapting to faults as they occur for the first time in an effort to prevent the build up of a general failure and also as tuning device after switching to a known scenario. A dynamical database, initialized with as much information of the plant as available, oversees the DHP controller. The decisions of which environments to record, when to intervene and where to switch are autonomously taken based on specifically designed quality indexes. The results of the application of the complete algorithm to a proof-of-the-concept numerical example help to illustrate the fine interrelations between each of its subsystems.

In this paper, we propose a genetic algorithm based design procedure for a radial-basis function neural network. A hierarchical rank density genetic algorithm (HRDGA) is used to evolve both the neural network's topology and parameters. In addition, the rank-density based fitness assignment technique is used to optimize the performance and topology of the evolved neural network to deal with the confliction between the training performance and network complexity. Instead of producing a single optimal network, HRDGA provides a set of near-optimal neural networks to the designers or the decision makers so that they can have more flexibility for the final decision-making based on their preferences. In terms of searching for a near-complete set of candidate networks with high performances, the networks designed by the proposed algorithm prove to be competitive, or even superior, to three selected traditional radial-basis function networks for predicting Mackey-Glass chaotic time series.
