Approximation capability to functions of several variables, nonlinear functionals, and operators by radial basis function neural networks

Tianping Chen, Hong Chen·1995·IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the representation capability of radial basis function (RBF) neural networks. The main results are: 1) the necessary and sufficient condition for a function of one variable to be qualified as an activation function in RBF network is that the function is not an even polynomial, and 2) the capability of approximation to nonlinear functionals and operators by RBF networks is revealed, using sample data either in frequency domain or in time domain, which can be used in system identification by neural networks.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
