title: On the exact solution of the Parity-N problem using ordered neural networks.
abstract: In this paper, an exact solution of the Parity-N function representation problem is provided using a fully connected feedforward (ordered) neural network. The solution requires neither training nor adaptation, and employs (N - 1) neurons. It is shown that any function sigma: R --> R with the property: sigma(- 1) = sigma(1) = 1 and sigma(0) = 0, can be used as the neural network activation function.
