An N-limit cycle artificial neural network for multivalued logic
Tieliu Yang, N. Pimchaipong, R.W. Newcomb, Rui J. P. deFigueiredo · 2002
A neuron consisting of a second order system with n limit cycles is introduced. With different initial conditions this neuron can produce n different outputs allowing the neuron to be used for multivalued logic such as an n-limit cycle artificial neural network. After a review of the n-limit cycle oscillator the system configuration is presented. Data is inserted via weights as initial conditions on the second order oscillator giving the neuron. For in neurons the neural network can store m to the nth power states in an n-level logic.
