- PublicationOpen AccessNegative results for approximation using single layer and multilayer feedforward neural networks(Elsevier, 2021-02-01) Almira, José M.; López-de-Teruel, Pedro E.; Romero-López, Diego J.; Voigtlaender, Felix; Ingeniería y Tecnología de ComputadoresWe prove a negative result for the approximation of functions defined on compact subsets of R^d (where d >=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 N) for neural networks with an arbitrary number of hidden layers, for activation functions that are either rational functions or continuous splines with finitely many pieces.
