Absolute stability of global pattern formation and parallel memory storage by competitive neural networks

Systems that are competitive and possess symmetric interactions admit a global Lyapunov function. However, a global Lyapunov function whose equilibrium set can be effectively analyzed has not yet been discovered. It remains an open question whether the Lyapunov function approach, which requires a study of equilibrium points, or an alternative global approach, such as the Lyapunov functional approach, which sidesteps a direct study of equilibrium points will ultimately handle all of the physically important cases.
