Popis: Recurrent neural network state-space trajectories can be considered as local one-parameter transformation groups. If such a group transforms the solution of a certain equation to another solution of the same equation then the group is referred to as a symmetry group of the equation. In this article we illustrate how a synaptic weight matrix of a recurrent neural network of Hopfield type can be calculated so that the resulting trajectory becomes a local one-parameter transformation group for a given equation. One particular application of this technique is where the equation to be solved comes from forcing a nonlinear output function of a dynamical system to be zero by applying a suitable control signal.
