On Explicit Super-Expressive Approximation for Neural Networks

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.

Approximation of Analytic Functions by ReLU Neural Networks with Adjustable Depth and Width

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.

High Probability Derivative Bounds for Random tanh Neural Networks on a Hypercube

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.

A Closed-Form Formula for Consistent Lipschitz Regression on Metric Spaces with Sparse Neural Network Realizations

arXiv:2609. 03129v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Several classical machine-learning methods, such as KRRs and SVRs, are both computationally and analytically tractable since their estimators either admit closed-form expressions or are obtained by minimizing convex training objectives; neither feature is generally available for deep neural networks.

New universal operator approximation theorem for encoder-decoder architectures

arXiv:2503. 24092v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Motivated by the rapidly growing field of mathematics for operator approximation with neural networks, we present a novel universal operator approximation theorem for broad classes of encoder-decoder architectures and a wide range of input and output spaces.
