Spectral Barron space for deep neural network approximation

Numerical Analysis 2025-07-16 v2 Numerical Analysis

Abstract

We prove the sharp embedding between the spectral Barron space and the Besov space with embedding constants independent of the input dimension. Given the spectral Barron space as the target function space, we prove a dimension-free convergence result that if the neural network contains LL hidden layers with NN units per layer, then the upper and lower bounds of the L2L^2-approximation error are O(NsL)\mathcal{O}(N^{-sL}) with 0<sL1/20 < sL\le 1/2, where s0s\ge 0 is the smoothness index of the spectral Barron space.
