            Abstract : 
A novel algorithm for performing the parameter learning of fuzzy neural networks is suggested, based on the concept of constrained optimization. The algorithm is applied to off-line and online training problems and is compared to standard backpropagation and Fahlman´s Quickprop. The experimental results show the efficiency of the suggested algorithm and its superiority over the comparing rivals
