Abstract

This study introduces a simple memristor cellular neural network structure, a minimalist configuration with only two cells, designed to concurrently address two logic problems. The unique attribute of this system lies in its adaptability, where the nature of the implemented logic gate, be it AND, OR, and XOR, is determined exclusively by the initial states of the memristors. The memristors' state, alterable through current flow, allows for dynamic manipulation, enabling the setting of initial conditions and consequently, a change in the circuit's functionality. To optimize the parameters of this dynamic system, contemporary machine learning techniques are employed, specifically gradient descent optimization. Through a case study, the potential of leveraging intricate circuit dynamics is exemplified to expand the spectrum of problems solvable with a defined number of neurons. This work not only underscores the significance of adaptability in logical circuits but also demonstrates the efficacy of memristive elements in enhancing problem-solving capabilities.
