A Hopfield neural net and its composition to solve a class of integer programming

A special type of parallel processing machine is proposed. The fundamental operation is very fast because it is realized by analog computation. The primitive machine including fundamentally analog computation is a k-state machine, whose operation is realized by the principle of Hopfield neural networks. The total system is constructed by the composition of primitive machines, and can solve a class of polynomially solvable integer programming, with relatively low-cost hardware.<
