On Explicit Super-Expressive Approximation for Neural Networks
In this work, we investigate the fixed-architecture neural network approximation with explicit parameter bounds and elementary activations. While prior work demonstrated super-expressive approximation using fixed-size networks, they lack quantitative and non-asymptotic characterizations of parameter magnitude with respect to the approximation error. We resolve this issue by introducing the Chinese Remainder Theorem as a constructive encoding mechanism. For Lipschitz continuous functions on $[0,1]^D$, we construct a width-$\max\{D,4\}$, depth-$5$ network with explicit parameter-error trade-offs. For H\"older-smooth functions in $C^{r,\gamma}_A\left([0,1]^D\right)$, our fixed network of width $\max\{2D,\ D+5N+1\}$ and depth $r + 9$ achieves the parameter magnitude $\mathcal{P}$ bounded by $\log_2 \mathcal{P}=\mathcal{O}\bigl(\varepsilon^{-2D/(r+\gamma)}\log(1/\varepsilon)\bigr)$. This is the dual result compared to those in the parameter-bounded and architecture-unbounded paradigm.
