A New Methodology for the Optimal Design of BSB Neural Associative Memories Considering the Domain of Attraction

This paper considers a new synthesis of the optimally performing brain-state-in-a-box (BSB) neural associative memory given a set of prototype patterns to be stored as asymptotically stable equilibrium points with the large and uniform size of the domain of attraction (DOA). First, we propose a new theorem that will be used to provide a guideline in design of the BSB neural associative memory. Finally, a design example is given to illustrate the proposed approach and to compare with existing synthesis methods.
