The paper studies a fault diagnosis method for a class of discrete-time nonlinear systems with unknown dynamics, using a combination of reinforcement learning (RL) and deterministic learning theory (DLT). Using a bank of DLT-based dynamical neural network identifiers, the authors obtain locally accurate approximations of system dynamics along normal and fault trajectories, then apply RL to adapt NN weights to extract discriminative features, which are represented by constant NNs and used to build rapid dynamical estimators for fault diagnosis. Key technical claims include rigorous analysis of exponential NN weight convergence via Lyapunov stability and a new RL utility function based on synchronization error rather than penalizing future wrong decisions. The paper presents simulation results as evidence of practical significance and is explicitly a preprint that has not been peer reviewed, with no further stated limitations in the provided text. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

In this paper a novel fault diagnosis (FD) approach combing the rein-forcement learning (RL) and the deterministic learning theory (DLT)is proposed for a class of discrete-time nonlinear system with unknowndynamics. First, a bank of DLT-based dynamical neural network (NN)identifiers are utilized to achieve locally-accurate approximations ofthe unknown system dynamics along the normal and fault trajecto-ries. Based on this, a novel feature learning method combing the RLwith DLT is proposed to further adapt the NN weights to extract dis-criminative features. The extracted features are represented by constant NNs. Finally, constant NN-based dynamical estimators are constructedto achieve rapid FD. The novelties of the proposed methods are: 1)according to the DLT, the exponential convergence of the NN weightscan be rigorously analysed based on the Lyapunov stability theory;2) a new class of strategic utility function is designed based on theconcept of the synchronization error in DLT-based dynamical pat-tern recognition approach, which is different from other RL-based FDtechniques that penalise the future wrong FD decisions. Simulationresults shows the practical significance of the proposed FD method.
