WaveNettityyppiset
WaveNettityyppiset is a term describing a family of networks where information propagates as waves across an interconnected lattice, and computation or signal processing emerges from wave interactions and the network's topology. The term, found in Finnish-language literature, encompasses both theoretical models and experimental hardware prototypes.
In these systems, each node implements a local operation, such as a linear filter or a nonlinear
Implementations span multiple physical media, including photonic waveguides, acoustic networks, and electronic or memristive circuits that
WaveNettityyppiset models are categorized by propagation characteristics (dispersive vs nondispersive), linearity (linear vs nonlinear), and topology
Advantages include parallelism from wave superposition, tolerance to certain delays, and potential energy efficiency in analog
