Abstract:
An important consideration when applying neural networks is the sensitivity to weights and threshold in strict separating systems representing a linearly separable function. Perturbations may affect weights and threshold so that it is important to estimate the maximal percentage error in weights and threshold, which may be allowed without altering the linearly separable function. In this paper, we provide the greatest allowed bound which can be associated to every strict separating system representing a linearly separable function. The proposed bound improves the tolerance that Hu obtained. Furthermore, it is the greatest bound for any strict separating system. This is the reason why we call it the greatest tolerance.

The first scenario occurs when a singular zero appears in the first column of the Routh table. This situation creates a division by zero issues. To resolve this, a small positive or negative number, denoted as epsilon (∈), is substituted for the zero. The stability analysis proceeds by assuming a sign for ∈. If ∈ is positive, any sign change in the first column of the Routh...
