Detailed Documentation

In this paper, we conducted simulation studies on the weight convergence of two fixed-step algorithms and one variable-step least mean square error (LMS) algorithm. Our findings indicate that the variable-step algorithm yields superior results. Notably, we observed that fixed-step algorithms exhibit certain stability limitations in their outcomes, whereas the variable-step approach effectively mitigates these issues through dynamic step-size adjustment based on error signal magnitude. The algorithm implementation typically involves updating weights using w(n+1) = w(n) + μ(n)e(n)x(n), where μ(n) represents the time-varying step size. Additionally, we explored optimization directions for these algorithms and proposed constructive suggestions, including gradient-based step-size adaptation and regularization techniques, which we hope will benefit researchers in related fields.
