Abstract: Fixed-time recurrent neural network(RNN) models with logarithmic settling time are proposed for solving time-variant neural computing problems.Two novel RNN models are designed and analyzed in detail,deriving the explicit expressions of settling time functions and providing the upper bounds of the settling times under any initial condition.Compared with the existing RNN models with fixed-time convergence,the two novel models with logarithmic settling time have a smaller upper bound on the settling time and faster convergence speeds.Taking into account initial conditions located within a region with a definite finite radius,the settling time functions of the RNN models with logarithmic settling time are given,and the upper bounds on the settling time functions in the semi-global sense are derived.Modified RNN models adopt the inverse of the bound to ensure that the semi-global predefined time converges to the exact solution,and its prescribed time is an adjustable parameter.Simulation results of the proposed RNN model for solving time-variant Lyapunov and Sylvester equations are given.The proposed RNNs are applied to the repetitive motion planning of a redundant manipulator with initial errors,and numerical results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed RNN models.
