Abstract

Introducing a finite correlationρ 0 between any two learned patterns (others remaining uncorrelated), we observe in a numerical simulation that the Hopfield model stores these two patterns with correlationρ f such thatρ f⩾ρ0 for any loading capacityα. The patterns are memorized perfectly (withρ f=ρ 0) up to α-0.05 for finite correlationsρ 0 not exceeding a valueρ c(α), whereρ c(α) decreases continuously to zero at α-0.05.
