The gradient neural network (GNN), distinguished by intrinsic parallel processing capability and natural avoidance of matrix inversion, has emerged as a preeminent and impactful approach for online solving ECQP problems. However, a significant drawback of most existing GNN models for solving ECQP problems lies in their reliance on complex activation functions (AFs) to achieve the desired fixed-time convergence. This reliance not only increases the amount of computation but also drives up the costs associated with potential hardware implementation. To remedy this drawback, a fixed-time GNN model with enhanced performance via a simplified AF is proposed to address the ECQP problem in the current study. Theoretical analyses in terms of global stability and fixed-time convergence property of the proposed GNN model are detailed. The simulation results executed on the MATLAB platform further corroborate the correctness of the theoretical analyses, as well as the superiority of the proposed GNN model.
