Recursive identification of multiple-input single-output fractional-order Hammerstein model with time delay

Abstract

This paper deals with identification of the continuous-time Hammerstein systems with time delay using Genetic Algorithm (GA) combined with the Recursive Least-Squares (RLS) method. This model consists of the Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) as its nonlinear static part and fractional order transfer function as its dynamic linear part. The fractional orders are identified by GA with an innovative strategy called Modified Genetic Algorithm (MGA). The main innovative idea is the selection and transferring the best characteristics or properties to the next generation. On the other hand, the centers and widths and the weighting parameters of the RBFNN and the transfer function coefficients of the linear dynamic part are updated by the RLS method. Simulation results are applied to illustrate the proposed method accuracy.
