Discrete-time/discrete-state recurrent neural networks are analyzed from a dynamical Boolean systems point of view in order to devise new analytic and design methods for the class of both single and multilayer recurrent artificial neural networks. With the proposed dynamical Boolean systems analysis, we are able to formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for network stability which are more general than the well-known but restrictive conditions for the class of single layer networks: (1) symmetric weight matrix with (2) positive diagonal and (3) asynchronous update. In terms of design, we use a dynamical Boolean systems analysis to construct a high performance associative memory. With this Boolean memory, we can guarantee that all fundamental memories are stored, and also guarantee the size of the basin of attraction for each fundamental memory
