New bounds reveal configuration-dependent limits for shallow ReLU networks on spheres

Researchers have established new theoretical bounds for the approximation capabilities of shallow ReLU$^k$ neural networks when operating on a sphere. The findings indicate that the approximation accuracy is dependent on the configuration of the network's inner parameters, specifically the antipodal separation distance. For certain parameter configurations, the networks can outperform traditional finite element methods, but this advantage has inherent limitations. AI

    Configuration-Dependent Lower Bounds for Approximation by Shallow ReLU$^k$ Networks on the Sphere

    arXiv:2510.04060v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We establish two related but logically distinct results for shallow ReLU$^k$ neural networks on the unit sphere $\SS^d$. First, for an arbitrary set of inner neural-network parameters, the best $\mathcal{L}^2(\SS^d)$ appro…
