title: Disappearance of spurious states in analog associative memories.
abstract: We show that symmetric n-mixture states, when they exist, are almost never stable in autoassociative networks with threshold-linear units. Only with a binary coding scheme, we could find a limited region of the parameter space in which either 2-mixture or 3-mixture states are stable attractors of the dynamics.
