✦ Synopsis

In this paper, the main behavior qIPLN networks with./eedbaek connections art, investigated quantitatively b)' using Markm, chains theoo: The main resldts obtained are (a) tile conditions that a PLN network converges, ( b ) the probat~ility that each state in a given net work converges to a stable state, ( c ) the mean and the variance o/" the mtmber o[steps that each state in a given network converges to a set of stable states, and ( d) the upper bound ~?/the at'erage nttmber ofsteps that each state in an unknown wis. These resldls riot on])' give an insL~ht to the details of the behavior of PLN network, but also show that tile network is a promising model. [br connectionist sj'~tem.
