The paper introduces SW-KAN, a Kolmogorov‑Arnold Network that replaces traditional B‑spline activations with Stieltjes‑Wigert q‑orthogonal polynomials defined on the semi‑infinite domain (0, ∞). It addresses the domain mismatch between unbounded inputs and bounded polynomial bases by applying a smooth exponential‑of‑tanh mapping, and uses a numerically stable three‑term recurrence to evaluate polynomial expansions efficiently. Experiments on image classification and continuous function approximation show that SW‑KAN achieves better accuracy‑efficiency trade‑offs than existing polynomial KANs, especially in resource‑constrained scenarios with limited data or feature dimensionality.

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).

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.
