Abstract :
This monograph is the first book to systematically treat the active and expanding field of complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs). The book consists of 11 chapters and is divided in two parts. Part I, which consists of chapters 1-4, serves as an introduction to neural networks with their domain expanded to complex numbers. Part II consists of chapters 5-11. Each chapter represents a research paper which describes an application of CVNNs to a problem. These results have been obtained in the author´s laboratory at the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, with the help of his students. The book includes 123 bibliographic references and an index. This book is a milestone contribution in the field of complex neural networks, written by arguably its most well-known and prolific researcher. It can be profitably used not only by those who like to be introduced to the field, but also by those who would like to contribute to it.
