A special method based on the branch and bound methodology, modified with a travelling path for adapting in the neural network, is introduced. The main neural network of the system consists of different subnets, each of which is designed for a special propose. The common neuron for competitive layers and the state presentation neurons for different layers are also presented and used in the design of neural network architecture. Sigma P1 neurons are used to increase the calculation's performance. A case study with different commitments of tasks is simulated and the results are compared with Hopfield and Tank net from different view points.}, keywords = {Branch and bound,Sequence Path,Compatative NNT,Cyclic Competition,Sigma PI Neurons}, url = {https://www.ije.ir/article_71101.html}, eprint = {https://www.ije.ir/article_71101_2db276aad3a417e1836645f7e4b24984.pdf} }
