Summary:The main result that for a neural circuit of the Hopfield type
with a symmetric connection matrix T, the negative semidefiniteness of T
is a necessary and sufficient condition for absolute stability was
obtained and proved by rather complex procedures by Forti et al. [1994].
This brief gives a very simple proof of this result, using only the
well-known total stability result about Hopfield type neural circuits
with a symmetric connection matrix and the basic algebraic properties of
real symmetric matrices
