✦ Synopsis

Shann and Fu (SF) proposed a fuzzy neural network (FNN) for role pruning in a fuzzy controller. In this paper we first analyze the FNN of SF and discuss some of its limitations. SF attempted to eliminate redundant rules interpreting some of the connection weights as certainty factors of rules. In their strategy the connection weights are unrestricted in sign and hence their interpretation as certainty factors introduces some inconsistencies into the scheme. We propose a modification of this FNN, which eliminates these inconsistencies. Moreover, we also propose a pruning scheme which, unlike the scheme of SF, always produces a compatible rule set. Superiority of the modified FNN is established using the inverted pendulum problem.

## Abstract Selection of optimal descriptors in quantitative structure–activity–property relationship (QSAR/QSPR) studies has been a perennial problem. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have been used widely in QSAR/QSPR studies but less widely in descriptor selection. The current study used ANNs t

Neural networks can only be trained with a crisp and finite data set. Therefore, the approximation quality of a trained network is hard to verify. So, a common way in proving stability of a trained neural net controller is to demonstrate the existence of a Lyapunov function. In this article we propo
