Two fixed functions can approximate any continuous function using only addition and composition

Vugar Ismailov

We prove that two fixed univariate functions, namely, an arbitrary continuous non-affine function and a particular affine function, are sufficient to approximate continuous functio…

Universality of shallow and deep neural networks on non-Euclidean spaces

Vugar Ismailov

We study shallow and deep neural networks whose inputs range over a general topological space. The model is built from a prescribed family of continuous feature maps and reduces to…

Topological DeepONets and a generalization of the Chen-Chen operator approximation theorem

Vugar Ismailov

Deep Operator Networks (DeepONets) provide a branch-trunk neural architecture for approximating nonlinear operators acting between function spaces. In the classical operator approx…

Addressing common misinterpretations of KART and UAT in neural network literature

Vugar Ismailov

This note addresses the Kolmogorov-Arnold Representation Theorem (KART) and the Universal Approximation Theorem (UAT), focusing on their frequent misinterpretations found in the ne…

A note on the problem of straight-line interpolation by ridge functions

Azer Akhmedov, Vugar Ismailov

In this paper we discuss the problem of interpolation on straight lines by linear combinations of ridge functions with fixed directions. By using some geometry and/or systems of li…

On the Kurepa and inhomogeneous Cauchy functional equations

Rashid Aliev, Vugar Ismailov

It follows from de Bruijn's results that if a continuous or -th order continuously differentiable function is a solution of the Kurepa functional equation, then it can…
