Memristors for the Curious Outsiders
We present both an overview and a perspective of recent experimental advances
and proposed new approaches to performing computation using memristors. A
memristor is a 2-terminal passive component with a dynamic resistance depending
on an internal parameter. We provide an brief historical introduction, as well
as an overview over the physical mechanism that lead to memristive behavior.
This review is meant to guide nonpractitioners in the field of memristive
circuits and their connection to machine learning and neural computation.Comment: Perpective paper for MDPI Technologies; 43 page

The Power of Linear Recurrent Neural Networks
Recurrent neural networks are a powerful means to cope with time series. We
show how a type of linearly activated recurrent neural networks, which we call
predictive neural networks, can approximate any time-dependent function f(t)
given by a number of function values. The approximation can effectively be
learned by simply solving a linear equation system; no backpropagation or
similar methods are needed. Furthermore, the network size can be reduced by
taking only most relevant components. Thus, in contrast to others, our approach
not only learns network weights but also the network architecture. The networks
have interesting properties: They end up in ellipse trajectories in the long
run and allow the prediction of further values and compact representations of
functions. We demonstrate this by several experiments, among them multiple
superimposed oscillators (MSO), robotic soccer, and predicting stock prices.
Predictive neural networks outperform the previous state-of-the-art for the MSO
task with a minimal number of units.Comment: 22 pages, 14 figures and tables, revised implementatio
Second International Workshop on Harmonic Oscillators
The Second International Workshop on Harmonic Oscillators was held at the Hotel Hacienda Cocoyoc from March 23 to 25, 1994. The Workshop gathered 67 participants; there were 10 invited lecturers, 30 plenary oral presentations, 15 posters, and plenty of discussion divided into the five sessions of this volume. The Organizing Committee was asked by the chairman of several Mexican funding agencies what exactly was meant by harmonic oscillators, and for what purpose the new research could be useful. Harmonic oscillators - as we explained - is a code name for a family of mathematical models based on the theory of Lie algebras and groups, with applications in a growing range of physical theories and technologies: molecular, atomic, nuclear and particle physics; quantum optics and communication theory
