New complex-valued activation functions

We present a new type of activation functions for a complex-valued neural network (CVNN). A proposed activation function is constructed such that it fixes a given ellipse. We obtain an application to a complex-valued Hopfield neural network (CVHNN) using a special form of the introduced complex fun...
