In this brief, a new sparsity aware norm based on a modified Versoria function is proposed, and utilized to develop a novel Versoria zero-attraction LMS (VZA-LMS) algorithm. Moreover, to make the proposed algorithm independent of the zero-attraction parameter, an adaptive zero attractor VZA-LMS (A-VZA-LMS) algorithm is also derived. The bound on learning rate, which ensures convergence in the mean and mean square sense, is derived. Computational complexity of the proposed algorithms are also compared with the existing zero-attraction-based LMS algorithms. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms provide improved performance over the state-of-the-art algorithms.falseand low complexity | least mean square algorithm | sparse system identification | Versoria function | zero attractionArticle155837913602-3606December 2020269109569arJournal18WOS:000594648600159
