MULTIPURPOSE HYSTERESIS CNN.

In this paper, we propose a multipurpose hysteresis CNN (cellular neural network) made of first-order cells with hysteresis switches. The hysteresis CNN has applications not only in image processing, but also in pattern formation, nonlinear wave propagation and associative and dynamic memories, because each hysteresis CNN cell has two operating modes, namely, a bistable multivibrator mode and a relaxation oscillator mode.
