This paper presents some important properties of the Fuzzy ART neural
network algorithm introduced by Carpenter, Grossberg, and Rosen. The p
roperties described in the paper are distinguished into a number of ca
tegories. These include template, access, and reset properties, as wel
l as properties related to the number of list presentations needed for
weight stabilization. These properties provide numerous insights as t
o how Fuzzy ART operates. Furthermore, the effects of the Fuzzy ART pa
rameters alpha and rho on the functionality of the algorithm are clear
ly illustrated.
