Abstract

We focus on stable and attractive states in a network having two-state neuron-like elements. We calculate the connection matrix which guarantees the stability and the strongest attractivity of p memorized patterns. We present an analytical evaluation of the patterns' attractivity. These results are illustrated by some computer simulations.
