Recently, a special kind of recurrent neural networks (RNN) with implicit dynamics has been proposed by Zhang et al for online time-varying problems solving (such as time-varying matrix inversion). Such a neural-dynamic system is elegantly designed by defining a matrix-valued error function rather than the usual scalar-valued norm-based error function. Its computational error can be made decrease to zero globally and exponentially. For the final purpose of field programmable gate array (FPGA) and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) realization, we investigate in this paper the MATLAB Simulink modeling and simulative verification of such a Zhang neural network (ZNN). By using click-and-drag mouse operations, it is easier to model and simulate in comparison with MATLAB coding. Both convergence and robustness properties of such a ZNN model are analyzed, which substantiate the effectiveness of Zhang neural network on inverting the time-varying matrices.
