The proposed network is a generalization of the network described by Elman, which has three layers including the input layer, the hidden layer and the output layer. The input layer is composed of two different groups of neurons, the group of external input neurons and the group of the internal context neurons. Since arbitrary connections can be allowed from the hidden layer to the context layer, the modified Elman network has more memory space to represent dynamic systems than the Elman network.
