Cybenko: approximation by superpositions of a sigmoidal function

Proved that finite superpositions using a continuous sigmoidal nonlinearity can uniformly approximate continuous functions on the unit hypercube, establishing a representational result for single-hidden-layer feedforward networks.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The theorem is a representational existence result under the paper's continuity, domain and activation assumptions. It does not guarantee efficient learning, finite-sample generalization, optimization success, minimal width or the performance of deeper architectures.
