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.

The paper proves that several decision and approximation problems for ReLU neural networks are computationally hard. For any number of layers λ≥2, deciding whether a network’s output is positive (and thus whether it is surjective) is W[ℓ−1]-hard when parameterized by the input dimension d. In particular, for two-layer networks, the related geometric problem of zonotope non‑containment is W[1]-hard in the ambient dimension, and computing or approximating the Lp‑Lipschitz constant is NP‑hard and W[ℓ−1]-hard with respect to d. The results also show that these problems remain hard when parameterized by the number of layers for constant d, implying that naive enumeration algorithms running in n^{(ℓ−1)d}·poly(N) time are essentially optimal under the Exponential Time Hypothesis.

The paper investigates how to balance approximation accuracy and stability in deep spline superposition networks under a strict layerwise Lipschitz budget. It provides an exact solution to the finite‑depth diagonal balancing problem, shows how to construct spline discretisations that respect the budget, and establishes minimax lower bounds for operators constrained in both first and third derivative norms. The authors also demonstrate that layer errors can accumulate linearly with depth, indicating that the upper bound is not merely a theoretical artifact.
