In this paper, a further study is shown by proposing a novel combined discrete-time ZNN (CDTZNN) model for solving TVNE. Specifically, a new difference formula, which is called the Taylor difference formula, is constructed for first-order derivative approximation by following Taylor series expansion. The Taylor difference formula is then used to discretize the continuous-time ZNN model in the previous study. The corresponding DTZNN model is obtained, where the direct Jacobian matrix inversion is required (being time consuming). Another DTZNN model for computing the inverse of Jacobian matrix is established to solve the aforementioned limitation. The novel CDTZNN model for solving the TVNE is thus developed by combining the two models. Theoretical analysis and numerical results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed CDTZNN model. The CDTZNN applicability is further indicated by applying the proposed model to the motion planning of robot manipulators.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnbot.2025.1576473","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,11]],"date-time":"2025-07-11T05:23:31Z","timestamp":1752211411000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Design and analysis of combined discrete-time zeroing neural network for solving time-varying nonlinear equation with robot application"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Zhisheng","family":"Ma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shaobin","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"577","DOI":"10.1090\/S0025-5718-1965-0198670-6","article-title":"A class of methods for solving nonlinear simultaneous equations","volume":"19","author":"Broyden","year":"1965","journal-title":"Math.
