Neural networks are widely used to approximate nonlinear functions. In order to study its approximation capability, a theorem of integral representation of functions is developed by using integral transform. Using the developed representation, an approximation order estimation for the bell-shaped neural networks is obtained. The obtained result reveals that the approximation accurately of the bell-shaped neural networks depends not only on the number of hidden neurons, but also on the smoothness of target functions.
