Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) replace fixed activations in deep architectures with learnable univariate edge functions, making the choice of edge parametrisation central. Existing variants rely on...
Monotonicity has been a long-running architectural inductive bias for neural networks, motivated by tabular, scientific, and economic settings where outputs are known to respond monotonically to certain inputs. Existing approaches are MLP- or flow-based and lack per-edge functional transparency; the only Kolmogorov--Arnold Network (KAN) variant with monotonicity, MonoKAN, enforces the constraint only on a restricted parameter subset and requires a projection-style training procedure.
The paper investigates Kolmogorov‑Arnold networks (KANs) and their approximation properties. It shows that while KANs can achieve dimension‑independent approximation exponents for targets with smooth univariate edge functions, this advantage is tied to the target structure rather than the architecture itself. Empirical tests reveal that KANs outperform MLPs only when each nonlinear component depends on a single input coordinate; otherwise, MLPs can be more efficient, especially under tight parameter budgets or for interacting targets.

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.

The paper proposes a new update geometry for the language‑model head by treating the head and softmax as a single module and using Hilbert’s projective distance to measure functional change. It replaces the spectral norm with the Euclidean row diameter, derives a tractable RowNorm update rule, and demonstrates that RowNorm substantially reduces step diameters and Hilbert perturbations while only slightly increasing validation loss.
