Abstract

In this paper, a neural network model is constructed on the basis of the duality theory, optimization theory, convex analysis theory, Lyapunov stability theory and LaSalle invariance principle to solve general convex nonlinear programming (GCNLP) problems. Based on the Saddle point theorem, the equilibrium point of the proposed neural network is proved to be equivalent to the optimal solution of the GCNLP problem. By employing Lyapunov function approach, it is also shown that the proposed neural network model is stable in the sense of Lyapunov and it is globally convergent to an exact optimal solution of the original problem. The simulation results also show that the proposed neural network is feasible and efficient.
