New research explores boundary geometry's impact on shallow ReLU neural network approximation

This paper investigates how the geometric properties of boundaries influence the approximation capabilities of shallow ReLU neural networks. The research establishes upper and lower bounds for approximation on convex bodies within weighted variation spaces, extending classical results to higher dimensions and various norms. It identifies specific geometric exponents that dictate the optimal approximation rates and determines sharp weight thresholds for maintaining classical approximation rates. The findings indicate that boundary geometry can significantly alter optimal approximation exponents even when other factors like dimension and error norm remain constant. AI

    Boundary Geometry Determines Optimal Shallow ReLU Approximation under Weighted Coefficient Constraints

    arXiv:2610.36854v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study how boundary geometry affects $L^q$ approximation by shallow ReLU neural networks on convex bodies $K\subset\mathbb R^d$. The target classes are unit balls of weighted variation spaces that can enlarge classical spaces by i…
