From the Back Cover:

A solid introduction to the concepts and advanced applications ofneural networks

Since the 1980s, the field of neural networks has undergoneexponential growth. Robots in manufacturing, mining, agriculture,space and ocean exploration, and health sciences are just a fewexamples of the challenging applications where human-likeattributes such as cognition and intelligence are playing animportant role. Neural networks and related areas such as fuzzylogic and soft-computing in general are also contributing tocomplex decision-making in such fields as health sciences,management, economics, politics, law, and administration. In thefuture, robots could evolve into electro-mechanical systems withcognitive skills approaching human intelligence.

With a fascinating blend of heuristic concepts and mathematicalrigor, Static and Dynamic Neural Networks: From Fundamentals toAdvanced Theory outlines the basic concepts behind neural networksand leads the reader onward to more advanced theory andapplications. Pedagogically sound and clearly written, this textdiscusses:

• Neuronal morphology and neuro-computational systems
• Threshold logic, adaptation, and learning
• Static neural networks–MFNNs, XOR Neural Networks, andBackpropagation Algorithms
• Dynamic neural networks–both continuous-time anddiscrete-time
• Binary neural networks, feedback binary associative memories,fuzzy sets, and other advanced topics

Thoroughly surveying the many-faceted and increasinglyinfluential field of neural networks, this is a valuable referencefor both practitioner and student.
