An efficient neural network for solving convex optimization problems with a nonlinear complementarity problem function

Abstract

In this paper, we present a one-layer recurrent neural network (NN) for solving convex optimization problems by using the Mangasarian and Solodov (MS) implicit Lagrangian function. In this paper by using Krush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions and MS function the NN model was derived from an unconstrained minimization problem. The proposed NN model is one layer and compared to the available NNs for solving convex optimization problems, which has a better performance in convergence time. The proposed NN model is stable in the sense of Lyapunov and globally convergent to optimal solution of the original problem. Finally, simulation results on several numerical examples are presented and the validity of the proposed NN model is demonstrated.
