arXiv:2610. 31264v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We construct a continuous function on $[-1,1]^2$ for which the infimum of the $L^2$-approximation error over the class of ReLU networks with two hidden layers and architecture $(2,2,1,1)$ is not attained.

Recent studies have shown that smooth functions can be well approximated by ReLU neural networks with path norm constraint on the weights. We extend these results from uniform approximation to approximation in Sobolev norm.
arXiv:2610. 11313v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A fundamental question in neural network architecture optimization is whether the minimum hidden-neuron count required to approximate a target function within a prescribed tolerance can be computed efficiently.

Abstract: We study uniform approximation of the H\"older ball $\mathcal H_1^s([0,1]^D)$ by fully connected ReLU networks. Except in the one-dimensional Lipschi...

arXiv:2604. 20219v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Depth is widely viewed as a central contributor to the success of deep neural networks, whereas standard neural network approximation theory typically provides guarantees only for the final output and leaves the role of intermediate layers largely unclear.

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.

In this work, we investigate the fixed-architecture neural network approximation with explicit parameter bounds and elementary activations. While prior work demonstrated super-expressive approximation using fixed-size networks, they lack quantitative and non-asymptotic characterizations of parameter magnitude with respect to the approximation error.

arXiv:2606. 07728v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: It is well established that ReLU networks define continuous piecewise-linear functions, and that their linear regions are polyhedra in the input space.
