Fractal and Fractional, Volume 8, Issue 11

2024 November - 63 articles

Cover Story: Recently, a first-order recurrent neural network activated by a Morlet wavelet function was introduced which can identify multiple chaotic systems in a black-box scheme, i.e., the neural network knows nothing about the system to be identified and its structure and synaptic weights remain fixed. As a limitation, it was found that traditional systems such as Lorenz and Rösser were not identified, which raised the question: can such a first-order recurrent neural network improve its identification capabilities when modeled by fractional-order operators? The results suggest that such a combination does not cause significant changes in the identification properties of the neural network. However, scenarios were found where the neural algorithm identifies the Rössler system. View this paper
