Estimation of the Domain of Attraction and the Convergence Rate of a Hopfield Associative Memory and an Application

摘要

In this paper, the domain of attraction of memory patterns and the exponential convergence rate of the network trajectories to memory patterns for Hopfield continuous associative memory are estimated. These results can be used for the evaluation of fault-tolerance capability and the synthesis procedures for Hopfield continuous feedback associative memory neural networks, and they are easy to check and apply in practice.
