I've been facinated by the references to the solution of the 'Traveling
Salesman' problem using neural nets on this sig.  I was wondering if there
were any papers or texts on the use of neural networks to solve other
optimization problems through 'pattern matching' and other techniques.

A caveat, however, I know nothing about neural nets and hit the math wall
at Ito integrals.

Please respond by mail unless you have a reference you'd like to share with
everyone.

Thanks in advance,

Bill Humphries.
