This paper discusses the stability condition for discrete-time multi-valued recurrent neural networks (MVNRNNs) in asynchronous update mode. In the existing research literature, an MVNRNN in asynchronous update mode has been found convergent if its weight matrix is Hermitian with nonnegative diagonal entries. However, our finding has been that the weight matrix with zero diagonal entries cannot guarantee the network stability. Furthermore, the new stability condition and proof is offered to allow diagonal entries to be complex-valued, which extends previous theoretical result. Simulation results are used to illustrate the theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: This paper discusses a class of discrete time recurrent neural networks with multivalued neurons (MVN), which have complex-valued weights and an activation function defined as a function of the argument of a weighted sum. Complementing state-of-the-art of such networks, our research focuses on the convergence analysis of the networks in synchronous update mode. Two related theorems are presented and simulation results are used to illustrate the theory. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
