Negative results for approximation using single layer and multilayer feedforward neural networks
(1810.10032)Abstract
We prove a negative result for the approximation of functions defined on compact subsets of $\mathbb{R}d$ (where $d \geq 2$) using feedforward neural networks with one hidden layer and arbitrary continuous activation function. In a nutshell, this result claims the existence of target functions that are as difficult to approximate using these neural networks as one may want. We also demonstrate an analogous result (for general $d \in \mathbb{N}$) for neural networks with an \emph{arbitrary} number of hidden layers, for activation functions that are either rational functions or continuous splines with finitely many pieces.
We're not able to analyze this paper right now due to high demand.
