Equilibrium capacity of analog feedback neural networks
Abstract:
A method for estimating the equilibrium capacity of a general class of analog feedback neural networks is presented in this brief paper. Some explicit relationships between upper bound of the number of possible stable equilibria and the network parameters such as self-feedback coefficients, weights, and gains of a feedback neural network are obtained. Increasing the equilibrium capacity using multimodal sigmoidal functions is also discussed. Some examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the analytical results presented.

Effects of feedback
Feedback significantly modifies the gain of a control system. The gain of a system without feedback is altered by a factor of one plus GH, where G represents...
Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...

The analysis of such circuits follows a systematic approach, similar to the second-order RLC circuits. In practical scenarios, bulky inductors are rarely employed due to their size and weight. This means...
Linear Approximation in Frequency Domain
In contrast, nonlinear systems do not inherently possess these properties. However, for small deviations around an operating point, a nonlinear system can often be approximated as linear.
Cell Signaling Feedback Loops
Negative feedback loops
Most signaling systems have negative feedback loops that can perform different functions such as output limiter, and adaptation.
Output limiter
Upon receiving an input signal, the cellular response rapidly increases until a threshold is reached. Beyond this threshold, a negative feedback loop...
