Summary:A novel class of information-processing systems called cellular
neural networks is proposed. Like neural networks, they are large-scale
nonlinear analog circuits that process signals in real time. Like
cellular automata, they consist of a massive aggregate of regularly
spaced circuit clones, called cells, which communicate with each other
directly only through their nearest neighbors. Each cell is made of a
linear capacitor, a nonlinear voltage-controlled current source, and a
few resistive linear circuit elements. Cellular neural networks share
the best features of both worlds: their continuous-time feature allows
real-time signal processing, and their local interconnection feature
makes them particularly adapted for VLSI implementation. Cellular neural
networks are uniquely suited for high-speed parallel signal processing
