Uniform Approximation by Neural Networks

LetD?Rdbe a compact set and let?be a uniformly bounded set ofD?Rfunctions. For a given real-valued functionfdefined onDand a given natural numbern, we are looking for a good uniform approximation tofof the form ?ni=1a1?i, with?i??,ai?R. Two main cases are considered: (1) whenDis a finite set and (2) when the set?is formed by the functions?v,b(x)?s(v·x+b), wherev?Rd,b?R, andsis a fixedR?Rfunction.
