In this paper, we report a study on learning ability of a Deterministic Boltzmann Machine (DBM) [1, 2] with neurons, which have a non-monotonic activation function. We use an end-cut-off-type function with a threshold parameter '?' as the non-monotonic function. Numerical simulations of nonlinear problems, such as the 2-Parity problem and the 4-Parity problem, show that the DBM network with non-monotonic neurons has higher learning ability compared to the network with monotonic neurons.
