The aim of this paper is to train an RBF neural network and select centers under concurrent faults. It is well known that fault tolerance is a very attractive property for neural networks. And center selection is an important procedure during the training process of an RBF neural network. In this paper, we devise two novel algorithms to address these two issues simultaneously. Both of them are based on the ADMM framework. In the first method, the minimax concave penalty (MCP) function is introduced to select centers. In the second method, an l0-norm term is directly used, and the hard threshold (HT) is utilized to address the l0-norm term. Under several mild conditions, we can prove that both methods can globally converge to a unique limit point. Simulation results show that, under concurrent fault, the proposed algorithms are superior to many existing methods.

The aim of sparse approximation is to estimate a sparse signal according to the measurement matrix and an observation vector. It is widely used in data analytics, image processing, and communication, etc. Up to now, a lot of research has been done in this area, and many off-the-shelf algorithms have been proposed. However, most of them cannot offer a real-time solution. To some extent, this shortcoming limits its application prospects. To address this issue, we devise a novel sparse approximation algorithm based on Lagrange programming neural network (LPNN), locally competitive algorithm (LCA), and projection theorem. LPNN and LCA are both analog neural network which can help us get a real-time solution. The non-differentiable objective function can be solved by the concept of LCA. Utilizing the projection theorem, we further modify the dynamics and proposed a new system with global asymptotic stability. Simulation results show that the proposed sparse approximation method has the real-time solutions with satisfactory MSEs.
