This theorem is based on a constructive proof of the Kolmogorov-Arnold superposition theorem, and on a subset of multivariate continuous functions whose outer superposition functions can be efficiently approximated by deep ReLU networks.

Abstract

We prove a theorem concerning the approximation of multivariate functions by deep ReLU networks, for which the curse of the dimensionality is lessened. Our theorem is based on a constructive proof of the Kolmogorov-Arnold superposition theorem, and on a subset of multivariate continuous functions whose outer superposition functions can be efficiently approximated by deep ReLU networks.
