arXiv:2510. 02779v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advances have significantly improved our understanding of the generalization performance of gradient descent (GD) methods in deep neural networks.
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:2606. 06772v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Characterizing the optimization dynamics and statistical performance of over-parameterized deep neural networks (DNNs) remains a central challenge in understanding the remarkable success of deep learning.
The paper presents a near-complete, nonasymptotic generalization theory for multilayer neural networks using path regularization, applicable to broad Lipschitz loss functions without requiring bounded loss or extreme network hyperparameters. It provides an explicit upper bound that addresses approximation rates in generalized Barron spaces and demonstrates the double descent phenomenon for ReLU networks. The authors claim near-minimax optimality for regression problems and plan to establish matching lower bounds in future work.

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.
