Convergence Criteria for a Hopfield-type Neural Network

Abstract

Motivated by recent applications of the Lyapunov's method in artificial neural networks, which could be considered as dynamical systems for which the convergence of the system trajectories to equilibrium states is a necessity. We re-look at a well-known Krasovskii's stability criteria pertaining to a non linear autonomous system. Instead, we consider the components of the same autonomous system with the help of the elements of Jacobian matrix J(x), thus proposing much simpler convergence criteria via the method of Lyapunov. We then apply our results to artificial neural networks and discuss our results with respect to recent ones in the field.

Regular specular differentiation in Euclidean spaces

We study the regular specular derivative, a generalized derivative defined at every point where both one-sided derivatives exist and are finite. Geometrically, it is the slope of the mirror that reflects the left tangent ray into the right one. In one variable we derive computational formulas, prove inverse function and rotation rules, establish Quasi-Rolle's Theorem and the Quasi-Mean Value Theorem, and obtain a derivative-limit theorem, which shows that twice regularly specularly differentiable functions are continuously differentiable. We also prove both parts of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. In several variables we introduce specular gradients, directional derivatives, tangent hyperplanes, and normal vectors, show that a continuous specular gradient forces classical differentiability, and characterize when the specular tangent hyperplane is unique.

Prevalent smoothness in inhomogeneous Besov spaces

In this article, we prove that, under some assumptions on the so-called environment, prevalent functions in inhomogeneous Besov spaces recently introduced by Barral-Seuret in 2023 are multifractal, with a singularity spectrum that we determine. This completes the previous Baire generic results already obtained.

Lebesgue Covering Theorem and level sets of continuous functions

We formulate and prove a dimension-theoretic generalization of a version of the Lebesgue Covering Theorem. A generalized $n$-dimensional version of the Steinhaus Chessboard Theorem, recently proved algorithmically by Turzański and Ziajor, is a particular case of this result. Moreover, we study two types of sets associated with a continuous function $g \colon [0,1]^n \to \mathbb{R}$. Namely, the set of all points $p \in \mathbb{R}$ such that the fiber $g^{-1}[\left\{p\right\}]$ connects $i$th opposite faces of $[0,1]^n$, and the set of all points $p \in \mathbb{R}$ such that the fiber $g^{-1}[\left\{p\right\}]$ separates $i$th opposite faces of $[0, 1]^n$.
