In this paper we propose a multivaluated recurrent neural network for vector quantization where the synaptic potential is given by a weigted sum of values of a function that evaluates the consensus between the states of the process units. Each process unit presents the state wilh the largest activation potential, that is, it depends on the state of the nearest process units (more strongly connected according to the synaptic weights). Like Hopfield network, it uses a computational energy function that always decreases (or remains constant.) as the system evolves according to its dynamical rule based on an energy function that, is equivalent to the distortion function of the vector quantization problem. It does not use tuning parameters and so it attains computational efficiency.
