Abstract
We exhibit a class of symmetric neural networks which synchronous iteration possesses an exponential transient length. In fact if is the set of nodes we prove the transient length satisfies
. For sequential updating we get the bound
. This behavior shows that the dynamics of these class of networks is complex while the steady states are simple: only fixed points or orbits of period 2.
