It is shown that the convenient processing facilities of digital signals that varying in a finite range of amplitudes are non-binary Galois fields, the numbers of which elements are equal to prime numbers. Within choosing a sampling interval which corresponding to such a Galois field, it becomes possible to construct a Galois field Fourier transform, a distinctive feature of which is the exact correspondence with the ranges of variation of the amplitudes of the original signal and its digital spectrum. This favorably distinguishes the Galois Field Fourier Transform of the proposed type from the spectra, which calculated using, for example, the Walsh basis. It is also shown, that Galois Field Fourier Transforms of the proposed type have the same properties as the Fourier transform associated with the expansion in terms of the basis of harmonic functions. In particular, an analogue of the classical correlation, which connected the signal spectrum and its derivative, was obtained. On this basis proved, that the using of the proposed type of Galois fields makes it possible to develop a complete analogue of the transfer function apparatus, but only for signals presented in digital form.
The question of the nature of the distributed memory of neural networks is considered. Since the memory capacity of a neural network depends on the presence of feedback in its structure this question requires further study. It is shown that the neural networks without feedbacks can be exhaustively described based on analogy with the algorithms of noiseproof coding. For such networks the use of the term "memory" is not justified at all. Moreover, functioning of such networks obeys the analog of Shannon formula, first obtained in this paper. This formula allows to specify in advance the number of images that a neural network can recognize for a given code distance between them. It is shown that in the case of artificial neural networks with negative feedback it is really justified to talk about a distributed memory network. It is also shown that in this case the boundary between distributed memory of a neural network and information storage mechanisms in such elements as RS-triggers is diffuse. For the given example a specific formula is obtained, which connects the number of possible states of outputs of the network (and, hence, the capacity of its memory) with the number of its elements.
The article shown that digital processing of slowly changing signals based on ternary logic has significant advantages compared to processing based on binary logic. It is shown that for slowly changing signals, digital processing can be performed on the basis of dividing analysed signal into frequency bands. In particular, information on derivatives of a slowly varying signal which spectrum lies in the frequency band from 0 to ω_0, can be restored basing on the analysis of its component lying in the frequency band from ω_0/3, to ω_0‥
