Turing computability with neural nets. (English) Zbl 0749.68032

Summary: This paper shows the existence of a finite neural network, made up of sigmoidal neurons, which simulates a universal Turing machine. It is composed of less than \(10^ 5\) synchronously envolving processors, interconnected linearly. High-order connections are not required.
