SW-KAN: Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks with Stieltjes-Wigert q-Orthogonal Polynomials

The paper introduces SW-KAN, a Kolmogorov‑Arnold Network that replaces traditional B‑spline activations with Stieltjes‑Wigert q‑orthogonal polynomials defined on the semi‑infinite domain (0, ∞). It addresses the domain mismatch between unbounded inputs and bounded polynomial bases by applying a smooth exponential‑of‑tanh mapping, and uses a numerically stable three‑term recurrence to evaluate polynomial expansions efficiently. Experiments on image classification and continuous function approximation show that SW‑KAN achieves better accuracy‑efficiency trade‑offs than existing polynomial KANs, especially in resource‑constrained scenarios with limited data or feature dimensionality.

RecKAN: Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks with a Learnable Recursive Polynomial Basis

RecKAN introduces a learnable recursive polynomial basis for Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks, replacing fixed bases like B-splines or Chebyshev polynomials. The basis is defined by a second‑order polynomial recurrence whose five coefficients are jointly learned with the network, enabling it to encompass classical families such as Chebyshev, Fibonacci, Pell, and Jacobsthal. Experiments across image, text, biomedical time‑series classification, and forecasting tasks show RecKAN outperforming parameter‑matched KAN baselines and achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on several benchmarks.

Polynomial-Augmented Neural Networks (PANNs) with Weak Orthogonality Constraints for Enhanced Function and PDE Approximation

Polynomial-Augmented Neural Networks (PANNs) merge deep neural networks with polynomial expansions to leverage the flexibility of DNNs and the rapid convergence of polynomials. The architecture introduces orthogonality constraints, basis pruning, and polynomial preconditioning to stabilize training and improve accuracy across diverse problems. Experiments show that PANNs outperform both pure DNNs and polynomial methods in approximating smooth and limited‑smoothness functions, as well as in solving partial differential equations.
