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.

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.

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. 26705v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Feedforward neural network (NN) expressivity is typically studied by emulating optimal basis-expansion schemes.

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.
