Abstract :
New comparators of the Hamming weight of binary vectors built using threshold circuits are proposed. One version compares the Hamming weight of a binary vector to a fixed threshold, whereas the other compares the Hamming weights of two independent vectors. Their applications include digital neural networks, pattern matching and median/rank filters.
