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.

The paper investigates depth separation for neural networks in the context of $L^2$ approximation of radial functions under a standard Gaussian measure in $d$ dimensions. It demonstrates that a particular radial function can be approximated within a fixed small $L^2$ error by a depth‑3 ReLU network of polynomial size in $d$, yet any depth‑2 network approximating the same function with bounded weights must have size exponential in $d$. The authors prove a general result linking high‑frequency Hermite expansion mass to the limitations of depth‑2 networks with small width and bounded weights, and all results are formally verified in Lean 4.

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.
