Asymptotically Stable Quaternion-valued Hopfield-structured Neural Network with Periodic Projection-based Supervised Learning Rules
- 基于四元数设计霍普菲尔德结构网络,保证权重与旋转一致性。
- 周期性投影使权重保持四元数结构,训练收敛快且准确率高。
- 适合机器人路径规划等需平滑轨迹的场景,数学框架可推广至复数网络。
受四元数表示旋转与姿态的几何优势启发,本文提出一种全连接结构的四元数值监督学习霍普菲尔德神经网络(QSHNN),其连续时间动力学模型扩展至四元数域,并证明了不动点的存在性与渐近稳定性。学习规则采用周期性投影策略,将权重矩阵每4×4块在最小二乘意义下投影至最近的四元数结构,确保训练过程始终满足四元数一致性与收敛性。实验表明,该模型在随机目标集上实现高精度、快速收敛和强可靠性。此外,QSHNN的演化轨迹具有有界曲率,即足够平滑,对机器人手臂关节姿态参数化等控制与路径规划应用至关重要。该模型提供了一种实用框架与通用数学方法,适用于超复数或非交换代数结构下的神经网络设计。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Motivated by the geometric advantages of quaternions in representing rotations and postures, we propose a quaternion-valued supervised learning Hopfield-structured neural network (QSHNN) with a fully connected structure inspired by the classic Hopfield neural network (HNN). Starting from a continuous-time dynamical model of HNNs, we extend the formulation to the quaternionic domain and establish the existence and uniqueness of fixed points with asymptotic stability. For the learning rules, we introduce a periodic projection strategy that modifies standard gradient descent by periodically projecting each 4*4 block of the weight matrix onto the closest quaternionic structure in the least-squares sense. This approach preserves both convergence and quaternionic consistency throughout training. Benefiting from this rigorous mathematical foundation, the experimental model implementation achieves high accuracy, fast convergence, and strong reliability across randomly generated target sets. Moreover, the evolution trajectories of the QSHNN exhibit well-bounded curvature, i.e., sufficient smoothness, which is crucial for applications such as control systems or path planning modules in robotic arms, where joint postures are parameterized by quaternion neurons. Beyond these application scenarios, the proposed model offers a practical implementation framework and a general mathematical methodology for designing neural networks under hypercomplex or non-commutative algebraic structures.
