Convergence Time of Wang's kWTA Network with Stochastic Output Nodes

Abstract

Recently, an extended Wang's kWTA network with stochastic output nodes has been studied. It is shown that this extended model converges asymptotically. In this paper, we further studies the convergence time of this model. The convergence time is defined as the time taken for the model to reach a finite region around the convergent. With this definition, an approximation of convergence time is derived and its viability is shown by simulation results.
