This paper investigates the ρ^p-Lipschitz constants of deep ReLU neural networks with random weights drawn from a He‑style initialization. For zero‑bias networks, it provides high‑probability upper and lower bounds that differ by at most a logarithmic factor in depth, and shows a sharp contrast between the regimes p∈[1,2) and p∈[2,∞], with the former behaving like the Euclidean norm of a Gaussian vector and the latter like its dual norm. The analysis is extended to networks with non‑zero biases from symmetric distributions, yielding bounds that differ by a logarithmic factor in width and a linear factor in depth.

arXiv:2607. 07778v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bubeck, Li and Nagaraj conjectured that, for generic data, any two-layer neural network with $m$ neurons that fits $n$ noisy labels must have Lipschitz constant at least of order $\sqrt{n/m}$, with no restriction on the size of the weights.

The paper establishes high‑probability bounds on mixed input derivatives for wide random neural networks whose activation derivatives grow factorially, with a focus on anh networks initialized with Xavier weights. For scalar‑output anh networks with Gaussian weights, the authors prove that when the hidden width exceeds a depth‑dependent threshold, the derivative of any order satisfies a bound that is independent of depth for first‑order derivatives and grows at most polynomially with depth for higher‑order mixed derivatives. These results yield high‑probability estimates for the Euclidean Lipschitz constant and weighted Sobolev norms, linking the regularity of network realizations to quasi‑Monte Carlo integration and its potential impact on QMC‑based training.

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.

An input may activate few hidden units even when different inputs collectively use an entire network. We study the statistical complexity of this input-dependent sparsity in the one-hidden-layer ReLU model of Awasthi et al.
