Abstract

There have been many studies on the simultaneous approximation capability of feed-forward neural networks (FNNs). Most of these, however, are only concerned with the density or feasibility of performing simultaneous approximations. This paper considers the simultaneous approximation of algebraic polynomials, employing Taylor expansion and an algebraic constructive approach, to construct a class of FNNs which realize the simultaneous approximation of any smooth univariate function and all its derivatives. We also present an upper bound on the approximation accuracy of the FNNs, expressed in terms of the modulus of continuity of the functions to be approximated. The results obtained in this paper reveal the complexity of simultaneous approximation by FNNs.
