Expository Tech Report on Neural Nets Available by FTP

[Eduardo Sontag]

As notes for a short course given at the 1993 European Control Conference this
summer, I prepared an expository introduction to two related topics:

1. Some mathematical results on "neural networks".

2. "Neurocontrol" and "learning control".

The choice of topics was heavily influenced by my interests, but some readers
may still find the material useful.  The two parts are essentially independent.
In particular, the part on mathematical results does not require any
knowledge of (nor interest in) control theory.

An *extended* version of the paper which appeared in the conference proceedings
is now available as a tech report.  This report, in postscript form, can be
obtained by anonymous FTP.  Retrieval instructions are as follows:
