Abstract
The present invention is directed to an analog, oligomer-based method for determining a mathematical result of carrying out an operation of matrix algebra on input data. The method comprises representing at least one m-component vector V=&Sgr; V e by a set of single-stranded oligomers E and which are in 1:1 correspondence with the basis vectors e , i=1, 2, . . . , m in an abstract m-dimensional vector space. A composition comprising at least one set of oligomers E and representing the components of a vector is obtained as input date and is subjected to at least one physical or chemical treatment having an effect on the oligomers that is an analog representation of an operation of matrix algebra. The method can be used to represent the operations of a neural network; for example, to produce a content-addressable memory, or a multilayer perceptron.
