Abstract :
A design methodology for associative memory (AM) using the Fokker-Planck formalism is proposed. This method allows AM to be designed for noisy conditions by taking into account the noise level to be tolerated by the AM as a design specification. The AM is viewed as a stochastic nonlinear dynamical system governed by a Fokker-Planck equation (FPE). Using eigenfunction expansion the spectrum of the FPE governing the dynamics of the desired AM is derived. A method for designing neural networks having the derived FPE dynamics is also given
