The fundamental concepts are frequency multiplexing of signals on a single line, and their wave-parallel processing without decomposition. This paper discusses the realization of a Hopfield-type fully connected neural network as an example, and shows that the WPC-based network exhibits much lower topological complexity compared with the original network. We also investigate the possible implementation of WPC based on the present MOS technology, and discuss the evaluation in terms of the degree of multiplexing and processing speed.","PeriodicalId":403347,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 26th IEEE International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic (ISMVL'96)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122364704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Functional completeness of a set means that for any function in MVL there exists a formula over this set that implements it. However, this classical definition of basis does not consider the efficiency of implementation, particularly, it does not guarantee the existence of an efficient implementation regarding the complexity of formal expressions. In this note the notion of efficiently irreducible basis is introduced, and is termed /spl epsiv/-basis. A criterion for the basic set of operations to be efficiently irreducible is given. In the cases of Boolean and ternary logic functions complete enumeration and description of /spl epsiv/-bases are presented.","PeriodicalId":403347,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 26th IEEE International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic (ISMVL'96)","volume":"12 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123798855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a 'canonical' principle for defining the fundamental relations model and semantic consequence for logics with weighted expressions is described, which not only allows a large variety of truth-value and weight structures, but furthermore allows to transfer the results of 'classical' model theory to the resulting logics in a natural way.","PeriodicalId":403347,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 26th IEEE International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic (ISMVL'96)","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114561768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this way, key operational difficulties are solved by means of a single binary operator. In this paper we point out that the main property in order to assure operativeness should be recursiveness, which is weaker than associativity. If calculus can be obtained by means of a recursive application of a sequence of binary connectives, we still can develop operative models. It is then clearly seen that a fuzzy role should be always understood as a family of fuzzy connectives. Associativity will appear when a fuzzy rule can be characterized by a single binary connective. Associativity assumption is therefore excluding from our model key rules in practice.","PeriodicalId":403347,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 26th IEEE International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic (ISMVL'96)","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123187926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
