Stability and Chaos of a Class of Learning Algorithms for ICA Neural Networks

摘要

Independent component analysis (ICA) neural networks can estimate independent components from the mixed signal. The dynamical behavior of the learning algorithms for ICA neural networks is crucial to effectively apply these networks to practical applications. The paper presents the stability and chaotic dynamical behavior of a class of ICA learning algorithms with constant learning rates. Some invariant sets are obtained so that the non-divergence of these algorithms can be guaranteed. In these invariant sets, the stability and chaotic behaviors are analyzed. The conditions for stability and chaos are derived. Lyapunov exponents and bifurcation diagrams are presented to illustrate the existence of chaotic behavior.
