Reviews

In summary, this book contains a wide variety of hottopics on advanced computational intelligence methods whichincorporate the concept of complex and hypercomplex number systemsinto the framework of artificial neural networks ...Nevertheless, it seems that the applications of CVNNs andhypercomplex-valued neural networks are verypromising.
