Convergence Time and Memory Capacity of Higher-order Hopfield Associative Memory with Multi-valued Neurons

We investigate the two basic properties, i.e. convergence time and memory capacity, or the higher-order Hopfield associative memory with multi-valued neurons. The second-order Hopfield neural network or multi-valued neurons is presented analytically. The properties or the combined higher-order multi-valued model is then studied. Finally, the memory capacity or the higher-higher order binary-valued model is studied using a statistical approach
