Optimal approximation of smooth functions by ReLU neural networks
We study uniform approximation of the H\"older ball $\mathcal H_1^s([0,1]^D)$ by fully connected ReLU networks. Except in the one-dimensional Lipschitz case, existing constructions remain separated from the information-theoretic efficiency limit. This article closes the gap for every $s>0$ and $D\ge1$: networks with wi...
