Two redundant rule based algorithms for time-delay nonlinear models: Least squares iterative and particle swarm optimisation

Two redundant rule based methods are developed for a time-delay nonlinear model in this paper. By using the redundant rule, the time-delay nonlinear model can be turned into a redundant model which contains some redundant terms. Then the least squares iterative and the particle swarm optimisation algorithms are applied to update the parameters and the corresponding time-delay. Compared with the redundant rule based least squares iterative algorithm, the redundant rule based particle swarm optimisation algorithm is more efficient for nonlinear models with complex structures. A simulation example shows that the proposed algorithms are effective. © 2020 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.. All rights reserved.
