Abstract
We consider the properties of "Potts" neural networks where each neuron can be in
Q different states. For a "Potts-perceptron" with
N
Q-states input neurons and one
Q' states output neutron, we compute the maximal storage capacity for unbiased patterns. In the large
N limit the maximal number of patterns that can be stored is found to be proportional to
N(Q-1)f(Q'), where
f(Q') is of order 1.
