arXiv:2606. 27126v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Kolmogorov Arnold networks (KAN) have recently been introduced as a (deep) neural network architecture whose trainable parameters adapt the activation functions, instead of the coefficients of the affine transformations at the core of traditional architectures such as deep multilayer perceptrons (MLPs).

arXiv:2509. 19830v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) approximate multivariate functions by composing univariate transformations through additive or multiplicative aggregation.

arXiv:2607. 15107v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper develops a categorical framework -- Learning in Infinitesimal Non-Compositional Sketches (LINCS) -- as the repair of non-compositionality: failures of diagrams to factor through quotient sketches lifted to the tangent category setting.

arXiv:2604. 21174v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) replace fixed activations with learnable univariate edge functions whose behavior depends strongly on the chosen basis.

arXiv:2512. 09084v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The Kolmogorov-Arnold representation theorem offers a theoretical alternative to Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) by placing learnable univariate functions on edges rather than nodes.

Kolmogorov Arnold networks (KAN) have recently been introduced as a (deep) neural network architecture whose trainable parameters adapt the activation functions, instead of the coefficients of the affine transformations at the core of traditional architectures such as deep multilayer perceptrons (MLPs). This architecture builds on the Kolmogorov-Arnold theorem, which endows it with universal approximation properties.
arXiv:2606. 16975v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this work, we investigate new activation functions for achieving arbitrary-accuracy Sobolev approximation by fixed-size neural networks.

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.
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.

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:2607. 07778v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bubeck, Li and Nagaraj conjectured that, for generic data, any two-layer neural network with $m$ neurons that fits $n$ noisy labels must have Lipschitz constant at least of order $\sqrt{n/m}$, with no restriction on the size of the weights.
