R2DN: Scalable Parameterization of Contracting and Lipschitz Recurrent Deep Networks

arXiv:2504.01250v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper presents the Robust Recurrent Deep Network (R2DN), a scalable parameterization of robust recurrent neural networks for machine learning and data-driven control. We construct R2DNs as the feedback interconnection of a linear time-invariant system and a 1-Lipschitz deep feedforward network, and directly parameterize the weights so that our models are stable (contracting) and robust to small input perturbations (Lipschitz) by design. Our parameterization uses a structure similar to the previously-proposed recurrent equilibrium network
