In this paper, we continue to explore application of nonsmooth analysis to the study of global asymptotic robust stability (GARS) of delayed neural networks. In combination with Lyapunov theory, our approach gives several new types of sufficient conditions ensuring GARS. A significant common aspect of our results is their low computational complexity. It is demonstrated that the reported results can be verified either by conducting spectral decompositions of symmetric matrices associated with the uncertainty sets of network parameters, or by solving a semidefinite programming problem. Nontrivial examples are constructed to compare with some closely related existing results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper addresses analytical and practical aspects of integration of equation-based (classical) and signal-derived [artificial neural network (ANN)] dynamic models for transient analysis of large-scale dynamical systems. Our signal-based part is based on two ANNs, and is derived from measurements at boundary points. In this paper, we describe this hybrid modeling technique, and focus on: 1) a least square-based mechanism for on-line correction of dynamic variable predictions that is based on actual operating conditions; 2) the resilience of the algorithm to missing measurements due to failed communication links; and 3) a complete two-way interaction between the differential-algebraic equation based subsystem and the ANN-based subsystem. The paper demonstrates the feasibility of implementing our approach in standard power system software by integrating the ANN-based model with the transient analysis toolbox from Matlab. We illustrate capabilities of the proposed approach for transient analysis on a benchmark multi-machine example derived from the New England/New-York interconnected power system.
