Abstract

Some properties of the global behaviour of a model of neural network are considered.

The geometric concept of “quadrant-degeneration” is studied and it is shown to be independent of the algebraic concept of rank-degeneration. The results obtained are employed to solve some global problems of synthesis (i.e., independent of the initial state of the network) without the use of the theory of linear inequalities.
