Uncoupled CNNs: unified theory and applications

Our main objective in this section is to derive and prove a general theorem which unifies all of the CNN templates presented in the preceding chapter, and numerous others, under one umbrella. In particular, the mathematical analyses presented for all templates in Chapter 5 could be greatly simplified. We did not present this fundamental theorem earlier for pedagogical reasons: it is essential for the uninitiated students of CNN to understand and appreciate the fundamental notion and power of the shifted DP plots and their dynamic routes.
