Abstract

The paper presents new approach the idea of artificial neural network (ANN) modelling and design with the use of calculus of finite differences proposed by Dudek-Dyduch [5, 8] and then developed jointly with Tadeusiewicz [5] and others. Previously such neural nets were applied mainly to the extraction of different features i.e. edges, ridges, maxima, extrema and many others that can be defined with the use of a classic derivative of any order and their linear combinations. The author extend this method of ANN modelling by the use of fractional derivative theory for transfer function modelling. Different types of fractional derivatives and their numerical accuracy have been presented. Finally it was shown that the discrete approximation of fractional derivative of some base functions allows for modelling the transfer function of a single neuron for various characteristics. In such an approach, the smooth control of a derivative order allows the neuron dynamics to be modeled without direct modification of the source code in the IT model. The novel approach universalizes the model of the artificial neurons.
