Abstract(in English) A Hopfield network employing a sigmoidal output function moves to lower its free energy.When the network is applied to optimization problems,its ability seriously depends not only on the temperature of the,sigmoidal function but on the network′s ini tial states.In this paper,we propose a technique to determine those conditions according to the bifurcation analysis of an equilibrium of the network.With this technique,the network′s abili ty can be improved,and we don′t need such special mechanisms like ″annealing″.
