Predicting complex chaotic time series via complex valued MLPs
Paolo Arena, Luigi Fortuna, Maria Gabriella Xibilia · 2002
In the paper it is proposed the use of a complex valued multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLP) with complex activation functions and complex connection strengths in order to perform the estimation of chaotic time series. In particular, the Ikeda map is taken into consideration. A comparison between the behavior of the real MLP and the complex one is also reported, showing that the complex valued MLP requires a smaller topology as well as a lower number of parameters in order to reach comparable performance.>
