Abstract: This paper deals with solving system of non-linear differential equation of cellular neural networks (CNNs) using different single-step numerical integration algorithms for connected component detector (CCD) along with bifurcation behaviour. Also, a simple cloning template for CNN is employed to detect the number of connected components of a vector in {+1, -1}N. Simulation results demonstrate that sixth order Dormand and Prince algorithm outperforms well in real time processing.

Keywords: cellular neural networks; nonlinear differential equations; CNNs; different Runge-Kutta methods; Dormand and Prince algorithm; ordinary differential equations; connected component detectors; CCD; simulation.
