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.

New universal operator approximation theorem for encoder-decoder architectures

arXiv:2503. 24092v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Motivated by the rapidly growing field of mathematics for operator approximation with neural networks, we present a novel universal operator approximation theorem for broad classes of encoder-decoder architectures and a wide range of input and output spaces.

Backpropagation as a Nilpotent Linear System

Backpropagation is the computational engine of deep learning, yet its mathematical structure is typically treated as a procedural traversal of computational graphs. We present a global operator theory of the \emph{F-adjoint} framework, which reformulates the layerwise backward recursion of an $L$-depth feedforward network into a single linear system $(I-\cB)\Xs=\bG$, where $\bG$ is a source vector.

Operator-Theoretic Generalization Bounds for Multitask Deep Learning

arXiv:2608. 15982v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We develop operator-theoretic generalization bounds for deep multi-output function classes by representing network layers as Koopman composition operators on vector-valued reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces.
