Any one knows any proof of Back-Propagation convergence?
Hecht-Nielsen has a proof for batch (epoch) training. Convergence is 
achieved when the sample size goes to infinity. (See Neurocomputing 
by Hecht-Nielsen, Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, p.133) He mentioned 
that Morris Hirsch provided similar proof for interactive (pattern) training. 
Could some one let me know Dr. Hirsch's email address, and/or point to me some
related references?
Your help is highly appreciated.
