A Closed-Form Formula for Consistent Lipschitz Regression on Metric Spaces with Sparse Neural Network Realizations

arXiv:2609. 03129v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Several classical machine-learning methods, such as KRRs and SVRs, are both computationally and analytically tractable since their estimators either admit closed-form expressions or are obtained by minimizing convex training objectives; neither feature is generally available for deep neural networks.

Residual neural networks overcome the curse of dimensionality for semilinear heat equations

arXiv:2609. 03626v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Rigorous results show that feedforward neural networks can overcome the curse of dimensionality in the numerical approximation of high-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs), but comparatively little is known about residual neural networks (ResNets) in the nonlinear PDE setting.

Resolution-Independent Analysis of Encoder--Decoder Operator Learning via Limiting Kernels

The paper studies operator learning on function spaces using encoder–decoder architectures. It shows that as input and output resolutions grow, the induced kernels converge to a limiting kernel, enabling regularity assumptions independent of resolution. The authors derive upper and lower bounds for regularized stochastic gradient descent, extend the analysis to neural networks via the limiting neural tangent kernel, and provide error bounds and complexity guarantees for various kernel and encoding constructions.

Approximation of Analytic Functions by ReLU Neural Networks with Adjustable Depth and Width

arXiv:2607. 10589v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In contrast to most studies on neural network approximation theory that characterize results through a single parameter, such as the total number of network parameters, \cite{shen2020deep} pioneered the characterization of approximation rates as a joint function of the width parameter $N$ and the depth parameter $L$, thereby granting greater architectural flexibility.
