An Algorithm for Approximating Continuous Functions on Compact Subsets with a Neural Network with one Hidden Layer

10 Feb 2019  ·  Elliott Zaresky-Williams ·

George Cybenko's landmark 1989 paper showed that there exists a feedforward neural network, with exactly one hidden layer (and a finite number of neurons), that can arbitrarily approximate a given continuous function $f$ on the unit hypercube. The paper did not address how to find the weight/parameters of such a network, or if finding them would be computationally feasible. This paper outlines an algorithm for a neural network with exactly one hidden layer to reconstruct any continuous scalar or vector valued continuous function.
