Interpolation and rates of convergence for a class of neural networks

This paper presents a type of feedforward neural networks (FNNs), which can be used to approximately interpolate, with arbitrary precision. any set of distinct data in multidimensional Euclidean spaces. They can also uniformly approximate any continuous functions of one variable or two variables. By using the modulus of continuity of function as metric, the rates of convergence of approximate interpolation networks are estimated, and two Jackson-type inequalities are established.
