Abstract This paper demonstrates that recurrent neural networks can be used effectively to estimate unknown, complicated nonlinear dynamics. The emphasis of this paper is on the distinguishable properties of dynamics at the edge of chaos, i.e., between ordered behavior and chaotic behavior. We introduce new stochastic parameters, defined as combinations of standard parameters, and reveal relations between these parameters and the complexity of the network dynamics by simulation experiments. We then propose a novel learning method whose core is to keep the complexity of the network dynamics to the dynamics phase which has been distinguished using formulations of the experimental relations. In this method, the standard parameters of neurons are changed by the core part and also according to the global error measure calculated by the well-known simple back-propagation algorithm. Some simulation studies show that the core part is effective for recurrent neural network learning, and suggest the existence of excellent learning ability at the edge of chaos.
