Applying RBF Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms to Nonlinear System Optimization

Nonlinear system optimization is always an issue that needs to be considered in engineering practices and management. In order to obtain optimal solutions without analysis formulas to nonlinear systems, we first construct a radial-base-function (RBF) neural network using the newrb() function in MALTAB 7.0, then train the neural network according to input and output, and finally obtain the solution using a genetic algorithm. Simulated experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is able to achieve optimal solutions with a relatively fast speed of convergence.
