Measure theoretic results for approximation by neural networks with limited weights

Vugar Ismailov, Ekrem Savas

In this paper, we study approximation properties of single hidden layer neural networks with weights varying on finitely many directions and thresholds from an open interval. We obtain a necessary and at the same time sufficient measure theoretic condition for density of such networks in the space of continuous functions. Further, we prove a density result for neural networks with a specifically constructed activation function and a fixed number of neurons.
