Minimizing the impacts of coupling, randomness, time variation and uncertain nonlinearity to enhance real-time performance is critical for controlling complex industrial systems. This paper proposes an optimized adaptive filtering method (LAF-MTNF) for time-varying uncertain nonlinear systems with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) measurement noise, which integrates the multi-dimensional Taylor network (MTN) with Lyapunov stability theory (LST). Leveraging MTN’s inherent advantages—simple structure, linear parameterization, and low computational complexity—LAF-MTNF achieves efficient real-time filtering while avoiding the exponential computation burden of neural networks. The contributions of this work are threefold: (1) A novel integration of LST and MTN is proposed for MIMO filtering, in which an energy space is constructed with a unique global minimum to eliminate local optimization traps, addressing the stability deficit of traditional MTN filters using LMS/RLS algorithms. (2) Convergence performance is systematically quantified by deriving explicit expressions for the error convergence rate (regulated by a positive constant) and convergence region (a sphere centered at the origin) while modifying adaptive gain to avoid singularity, filling the gap of incomplete performance analysis in existing Lyapunov-based filters. (3) The design is disturbance-independent, relying only on input/output measurements and requiring no prior knowledge of noise statistics, thus enhancing robustness to unknown industrial disturbances. We systematically analyze the Lyapunov stability of LAF-MTNF, and simulations on a complex MIMO system verify that it outperforms existing methods in filtering precision (mean error 0.0227 vs. 0.0674 of RBFNN) and dynamic response speed, while ensuring asymptotic stability and real-time applicability. The proposed LAF-MTNF method achieves significant advantages over traditional adaptive filtering methods in filtering accuracy, convergence speed and anti-cross-coupling capability. This method has broad application prospects in high-precision industrial servo motion control, power system state monitoring and other multi-variable nonlinear industrial scenarios with complex noise environments.
