Research in neuroscience has seen a recent trend toward the extension of receptive field (RF) estimation techniques and theoretical principles from linear to non-linear models. This development has ...

Abstract: Neural networks with quadratic decision functions have been introduced as alternatives to standard neural networks with affine linear ones. They are advantageous when the objects or classes ...

Polynomials and power functions are the foundation for modelling non-linear relationships. Polynomial functions such as quadratic, cubic and quartic model variables raised to exponents of different ...

Abstract: An innovative solution for global non-quadratic observer design of nonlinear systems is presented in this report. Via an exact convex representation of the model in the Takagi-Sugeno form, ...
