Abstract(in English) Since solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) is very important, therefore, many solving methods are proposed. The solving method using artificial neural networks is one of such solving methods. In this article, we evaluate an actual calculation time to solve a constraint condition satisfaction problem by using our proposed hysteresis neural network (HNN) which was originally proposed in 1991. The HNN consists of a binary hysteresis neuron. The dynamics of each neuron is depended on the continuous state variable, and the output of the neuron takes two discrete values. The HNN is regarded as a piecewise linear system, and the solution trajectory of the HNN can be calculated rigorously and rapidly. We con- sider a solver by HNN for the four-coloring problem in this article. We investigate the actual calculation time of HNN solution search.
