Abstract:
In this letter, the capabilities of feedforward neural networks (FNNs) on the realization and approximation of functions of the form g: R(l) --> A, which partition the R(l) space into polyhedral sets, each one being assigned to one out of the c classes of A, are investigated. More specifically, a constructive proof is given for the fact that FNNs consisting of nodes having sigmoid output functions are capable of approximating any function g with arbitrary accuracy. Also, the capabilities of FNNs consisting of nodes having the hard limiter as output function are reviewed. In both cases, the two-class as well as the multiclass cases are considered.

SFG Algebra
Each node in an SFG corresponds to a variable, and the interactions between nodes are represented by branches with associated gains. When multiple branches lead into a node, the value at that node is the sum of the...

Neuronal pools are collections of nerve cells with similar functions and interact through chemical and electrical signals. These pools include both interneurons (the central neural circuit nodes that...
Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
