Abstract

We study the sequences generated by a neuronal equation with memory of the form , where is the size of the memory. We show that in the case where all the parameters are negative real numbers, there exists a neuronal equation of memory length that generates a sequence of period . This result shows that in the case where all weighting coefficients are negative, the neuronal recurrence equation exhibits a complex behavior.
