Abstract

This paper presents some results of an analysis on the decision boundaries of complex-valued neurons. The main results may be summarized as follows. (a) Weight parameters of a complex-valued neuron have a restriction which is concerned with two-dimensional motion. (b) The decision boundary of a complex-valued neuron consists of two hypersurfaces which intersect orthogonally, and divides a decision region into four equal sections.
