Abstract In this paper, we present a new control method firstly for nonlinear systems using Universal Learning Network(ULN) with radial basis function(RBF). ULN can model and control the large scale complicate...d systems such as industrial plants, economic, social and life phenomena. The basic idea of ULN is that large scale complicated control systems can be modeled by the network which consists of nonlinearly operated nodes and branches which may have arbitrary time delays including zero or minus ones. Second, a new learning algorithm is applied to the design of the optimal network controller of a nonlinear control system. The optimization method is named RasVal, which is a kind of random searching, and it can search for a global minimum systematically and effectively in a single framework which is not a combination of different methods. The searching for a global minimum is carried out based on the probability density functions of searching, which can be modified using information on success or failure of the past searching in order to execute intensified and diversified searching. Simulation studies were carried out in the following four cases to compare the learning speed and performance: (1). comparing Radial Basis Function(RBF) with Sigmoid Function(SF) based on the gradient method. (2). comparing RBF with SF based on RasVal. (3). comparing RasVal with the gradient method for the RBF controller. (4). comparing RasVal with the gradient method for the SF controller. By applying RasVal and the gradient method to a nonlinear crane control system, it has been proved that the simulation results of ULN with RBF based on the gradient method are superior in performance to those of neural networks, and it has also been shown that the RBF control has better performance for the generalization capability than the neural network control based on the gradient method. On the other hand, it has been shown that the neural network control based on RasVal has better performance than the RBF control. At the same time, it has been shown that the RasVal is superior in performance to the commonly used back propagation learning algorithm whether the RBF controller or the NN controller is used. On the other hand, the generalization capability of a Radial Basis Function controller using RasVal was studied and it is shown that a new method is effective to overcome the over-fitting problem in nonlinear control systems.show more
