New neural network method achieves arbitrary accuracy for complex functions

Researchers have developed a new method for approximating multivariate Hölder-continuous functions using feedforward neural networks. The study establishes the minimum number of hidden neurons required for arbitrary accuracy in the uniform norm, proving that for d>=2 dimensions, a network with two hidden layers can achieve this with widths d and 1. The proposed constructions utilize explicit grid addressing and integer encoding of quantized function values, achieving bit complexity that closely matches theoretical lower bounds. AI

IMPACT This research advances the theoretical understanding of neural network capabilities for approximating complex mathematical functions.

    Arbitrary-Accuracy Neural Approximation with Optimal Neuron Count and Near-Optimal Bit Complexity

    We study the minimum number of hidden neurons required for arbitrary-accuracy approximation of multivariate Hölder-continuous functions on $[0,1]^d$ and the associated encoding complexity. For $d\geq 2$, we construct a fixed, explicitly defined activation function for which a clo…
