Abstract

This paper describes a method to estimate the Lipschitz gain of an operator through identification with neural networks. It is shown that through simple manipulation of the network coefficients, the Lipschitz constant could be estimated. Illustrations and applications are also given to show the effectiveness and usefulness of this estimation scheme.
