Abstract

This communication presents an Extended Hopfield Neural Network which has been applied to design the extra circuitry for testing a digital circuit during its normal operation, problem which we have shown to be equivalent to the problem of selecting an optimal set of Reed-Muller spectral coefficients. It has been suggested that neural networks, in particular the Hopfield Neural network, may be used to solve linear programming problems. Here, we show how a modification of the Hopfield Network structure also allows to solve non-linear programming problems.
