Popis: A wavelet network (WN) is a feed-forward neural network that uses wavelets as activation functions for the neurons in its hidden layer. By predetermining the wavelet positions and dilations, the WN can turn into a linear regression model. The common approach for the construction of these WN families is to use least-squares type algorithms. In this letter, we propose a novel approach by formulating a WN as a sparse linear regression problem, which we call a sparse wavelet network (SWN). In this WN, the problem of calculating the unknown inner parameters of the network becomes that of finding the sparse solution of an under-determined system of linear equations. Our sparse solution algorithm is a non-convex sparse relaxation approach inspired by smoothed L0 (SL0), a distinguished sparse recovery algorithm. The proposed SWN can be applied as a tool for the prediction and identification of dynamical systems.
