Neural network verification complexity analyzed in new arXiv paper

A new paper published on arXiv explores the parameterized computational complexity of neural network verification. Researchers have proven that for neural networks with $\ell$ layers and ReLU activations, determining properties like positivity and surjectivity is W[$\ell-1$]-hard when parameterized by input dimension $d$. This finding resolves an open problem and has implications for problems in computational geometry, control theory, and robotics, such as zonotope non-containment. The research also shows that approximating Lipschitz constants and other properties in these networks are NP-hard and W[$\ell-1$]-hard with respect to $d$, and NP- and W[$t$]-hard with respect to $\ell$ for constant $d$.

    Parameterized Hardness of Zonotope Containment and Neural Network Verification

    arXiv:2509.22849v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Neural networks with ReLU activations are a widely used model in machine learning. It is thus important to have a profound understanding of the properties of the functions computed by such networks. Recently, there has bee…
