Abstract
Dual connections (DCs) utilize the noncommutativity of quaternions and improve the noise tolerance of quaternion Hopfield neural networks (QHNNs). In this article, we introduce DCs to twin-multistate QHNNs. We conduct computer simulations to investigate the noise tolerance. The QHNNs with DCs were weak against an increase in the number of training patterns, but they were robust against increased resolution factor. The simulation results can be explained from the standpoints of storage capacities and rotational invariance.
