<Heading>Introduction</Heading>
<Package>Thelma</Package> stands for ``THreshold ELements, Modelling and Applications ".
This package is dedicated to realization of Boolean functions by the means of the threshold ele ments and multilayered perceptrons.
Threshold elements were introduced in <Cite Key="McCulloch43a"/>. A certain number of articles on threshold logic appeared in 60-s and 70-s, however this field is regaining a considerable interest
nowadays as well (see <Cite Key="Horvath16"/>,<Cite Key="Horvath1994"/>, <Cite Key="Gowda11"/>, <Cite Key="Kulkarni16"/>, e.t.c). <P/>
We mostly refer to the methods proposed in <Cite Key="GecheBovdi80"/>, <Cite Key="GecheRobotyshyn83"/>, <Cite Key="GecheMulesa2017"/>, and <Cite Key="Dertouzos65"/>.
<Section Label="overview">
<Heading>Overview over this manual</Heading>
Chapter <Ref Chap="thr_elements"/> describes the functions operating with the threshold elements.
They include the basic operations, the functions that verify the realizability of a given Boolean function by a single threshold element, and some iterative methods.
Chapter <Ref Chap="thr_networks"/> describes the functions for neural networks, built from the threshold elements.

<Heading>Installation</Heading>
To get the newest version of this &GAP; 4 package download the
archive file <F>thelma-x.x.tar.gz</F> and unpack it in a directory called <Q><F>pkg</F></Q>, preferably (but not
necessarily) in the <Q><F>pkg</F></Q> subdirectory of your &GAP; 4
installation. It creates a subdirectory called <Q><F>thelma</F></Q>.<P/>
As <Package>Thelma</Package> has no additional C libraries, there is no need in any additional installation steps.<P/>
