The Euler-Type Universal Numerical Integrator (E-TUNI) with Backward Integration

The Euler-Type Universal Numerical Integrator (E-TUNI) is a discrete numerical structure that couples a first-order Euler-type numerical integrator with some feed-forward neural network architecture. Thus, E-TUNI can be used to model non-linear dynamic systems when the real-world plant’s analytical model is unknown. From the discrete solution provided by E-TUNI, the integration process can be either forward or backward. Thus, in this article, we intend to use E-TUNI in a backward integration framework to model autonomous non-linear dynamic systems. Three case studies, including the dynamics of the non-linear inverted pendulum, were developed to verify the computational and numerical validation of the proposed model.
