In this paper, we present a new neural network for solving linear and quadratic programming problems in real time by introducing some new vectors. The proposed neural network is stable in the sense of Lyapunov and can converge to an exact optimal solution of the original problem when the objective function is convex on the set defined by equality constraints. Compared with existing one-layer neural networks for quadratic programming problems, the proposed neural network has the least neurons and requires weak stability conditions. The validity and transient behavior of the proposed neural network are demonstrated by some simulation results.

This paper presents a new neural network model for solving constrained variational inequality problems by converting the necessary and sufficient conditions for the solution into a system of nonlinear projection equations. Five sufficient conditions are provided to ensure that the proposed neural network is stable in the sense of Lyapunov and converges to an exact solution of the original problem by defining a proper convex energy function. The proposed neural network includes an existing model, and can be applied to solve some nonmonotone and nonsmooth problems. The validity and transient behavior of the proposed neural network are demonstrated by some numerical examples.
