arXiv:2609. 19937v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent studies have shown that smooth functions can be well approximated by ReLU neural networks with path norm constraint on the weights.
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.
arXiv:2610.22693v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study uniform approximation of the H\"older ball $\mathcal H_1^s([0,1]^D)$ by fully connected ReLU networks. Except in the one-dimensional Lipschi...
This paper investigates the ρ^p-Lipschitz constants of deep ReLU neural networks with random weights drawn from a He‑style initialization. For zero‑bias networks, it provides high‑probability upper and lower bounds that differ by at most a logarithmic factor in depth, and shows a sharp contrast between the regimes p∈[1,2) and p∈[2,∞], with the former behaving like the Euclidean norm of a Gaussian vector and the latter like its dual norm. The analysis is extended to networks with non‑zero biases from symmetric distributions, yielding bounds that differ by a logarithmic factor in width and a linear factor in depth.
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.
