Piecewise-Linear Neural Network: A Tool for Modeling of the Processes to Be Controlled

The article introduces a new technique for process modeling. On the basis of the fact that once nonlinear problem is modeled by piecewise-linear model, it can be solved by many efficient techniques, the result of introduced technique provides a set of linear equations. Each of these equations is valid in some region of state space and together, they approximate whole nonlinear process.
