This paper introduces a new type of Hopfield neural network using newly developed single-electron devices. In the electrical model of the Hopfield neural network, a single-electron synapse, used as a voltage(or current)-variable resistor, and two stages of single-electron inverters, used as a nonlinear activation function, are simulated with a single-electron circuit simulator using Monte-Carlo method to verily their operation.

An optimization approach is used to solve the division problem of working area, and a cost function is defined to represent the constraints on the solution, which is then mapped onto the Hopfield neural network for minimization. Each neuron in the network represents a possible combination among many components. Division is achieved by initializing each neuron that represents a possible combination and then allowing the network settle down into a stable state. The network uses the initialized inputs and the compatibility measures among components in order to divide working area.

A new neural network model, based on the Hopfield's crossbar associative network, is presented and shown to be an effective tool for the NP-Complete problems. This model is applied to a class of layer assignment problems for VLSI routing. The results indicate that this modified Hopfield model improves stability and accuracy.

This paper presents a method of implementing efficient optical flow estimation for dynamic scene analysis using the hierarchical Hopfield neural networks. Given the two consequent inages, Zhou and Chellappa suggested the Hopfield neural network for computing the optical flow. The major problem of this algorithm is that Zhou and Chellappa's network accompanies self-feedback term, which forces them to check the energy change every iteration and only to accept the case where the lower the energy level is guaranteed. This is not only undesirable but also inefficient in implementing the Hopfield network. The another problem is that this model cannot allow the exact computation of optical flow in the case that the disparities of the moving objects are large. This paper improves the Zhou and Chellapa's problems by modifying the structure of the network to satisfy the convergence condition of the Hopfield model and suggesting the hierarchical algorithm, which enables the computation of the optical flow using the hierarchical structure even in the presence of large disparities.

This paper presents an analog circuit implementation and experimental resuls of the Hopfield type neural network. The proposed architecture enables the reconfiguration betwewn feedback and feedforward networks and employs new circuit designs for the weight supply and storage, analog multilier, nd current-voltage converter, in order to achieve area efficiency as well as function al versatility. The layout design of the eight-neuron neural network is tested as an associative memory to verify its applicability to real world.

We introduce high-order Hopfield neural networks with Leakage delays. Furthermore, we study the uniqueness and existence of Hopfield artificial neural networks having the weighted pseudo almost periodic forcing terms on finite delay. Our analysis is based on the differential inequality techniques and the Banach contraction mapping principle.

The results of current method of traffic sign detection gets hindered by environmental conditions and the traffic sign's condition as well. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method of improving detection performance of damaged traffic signs by utilizing Hopfield Network and Fuzzy Max-Min Neural Network. In this proposed method, the characteristics of damaged traffic signs are analyzed and those characteristics are configured as the training pattern to be used by Fuzzy Max-Min Neural Network to initially classify the characteristics of the traffic signs. The images with initial characteristics that has been classified are restored by using Hopfield Network. The images restored with Hopfield Network are classified by the Fuzzy Max-Min Neural Network onces again to finally classify and detect the damaged traffic signs. 8 traffic signs with varying degrees of damage are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method which resulted with an average of 38.76% improvement on classification performance than the Fuzzy Max-Min Neural Network.

Recently neural networks leave been proposed as new computational tools for solving constrained optimization problems because of its computational power. In this paper, the shortest path finding algorithm is proposed by rising a Hopfield type neural network. In order to design a Hopfield type neural network, an energy function must be defined at first. To obtain this energy function, the concept of a vector-represented network is introduced to describe the connected path. Through computer simulations, it will be shown that the proposed algorithm works very well in many cases. The local minima problem of a Hopfield type neural network is discussed.
