In this paper, we propose a novel chaotic neural network embedded with stochastic simulated annealing noise and a heuristic mechanism to solve minimum vertex cover problem. The proposed network can make a global search with the affection of stochastic noise and obtain a chaotic search by the chaotic dynamics. The stochastic noise with simulated annealing is able to find a global optimum solutio...

Chen and Aihara recently proposed a chaotic simulated annealing approach to solving optimization problems. By adding a negative self-coupling to a network model proposed earlier by Aihara et al. and gradually removing this negative self-coupling, they used the transient chaos for searching and self-organizing, thereby achieving remarkable improvement over other neural-network approaches to opti...

A Chaotic neural network model with Morlet wavelet function selffeedback is proposed by introducing Morlet wavelet function into self-feedback of chaotic neural network. The analyses of the optimization mechanism of the networks suggest that Morlet wavelet function self-feedback affects the original Hopfield energy function in the manner of the sum of the multiplications of Morlet wavelet funct...
