[comp.ai.neural-nets] Convergence rate of the Hopfield net?

changei@liberia.crd.ge.com (eric i chang) (08/24/89)

	I am trying to use the Hopfield net to solve optimization problems
and I am wondering if there has been any study on the convergence rate
of the Hopfield net?

	Specifically, how does the convergence rate of the Hopfield net
change with size of the problem?  Hopfield and Tank mention that the
net typically converges in a few cycles.  But suppose one increases the
size of the net ten times, would the convergence time stay the same?

	Any comments and references regarding this problem would be
greatly appreciated.  I will summarize the response on the net.

	Thank you!
