Abstarct: In this thesis, we describe a neural network model baxsed on a dynamic optimization technique for solving a class of non-smooth optimization problems with min-max objective function. The basic idea is to replace the min-max function by a smooth one using an entropy function. With this smoothing technique, the non-smooth problem is converted into an equivalent differentiable convex programming problem. A neural network model is then constructed baxsed on Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions. It is investigated that the proposed neural network is stable in the sense of Lyapunov and can converge to an exact optimal solution of the original problem. The effectiveness of the method are demonstrated by several numerical simulations.
