            Abstract : 
A synthesis method to guarantee symmetric weight matrices for a class of neural networks (which includes the Hopfield neural network as a special case) is proposed. This fills in a gap in the Li-Michel-Porod´s synthesis and guarantees asymptotic stability for a given set of linearly independent equilibrium points under Lyapunov´s stability criteria.
