Abstract :
Associative memories with nonmonotone dynamics; exhibiting improved performances have recently been reported. They show greater memory capacity, better recollection ability and fewer spurious states than existing solutions. This paper presents two circuits implementing such activation functions, one based on the use of the analytical expression of the function and a more intuitive realization
