Summary.
This paper contains a first rigorous results at the direction of the converse to Newman's bounds [11] on the storage capacity for the Hopfield model of associative memory. Let \(m\) denote the number of stored patterns and \(N\) that of neurons. Assuming that \(m/N\to \alpha\) as \(N\to\infty \) we show that for \(\alpha>0\) the memory necessarily commits a positive fraction of errors on memorized patterns that becomes superior to some threshold value (approximately 0.05) as \(\alpha\to\infty \).
