  • Abstract
    A tunneling neural network that can be used in conjunction with a Hopfield network to solve a global minimization problem is proposed. When the two are used together, the global minimum of the corresponding Hopfield energy can be attained. Simulation was performed for the traveling salesman problem with four to ten cities, and a solution very near to the global minimum was reached for all the cases investigated
