Max-product neural network and quasi-interpolation operators activated by sigmoidal functions (Q2630379)

The max-product neural network (NN) and quasi-interpolation (QI) operators are introduced and studied in the present article. The density functions considered as kernels for such operators are generated by certain finite linear combination of sigmoidal functions, and from them inherit very useful approximation properties. The convergence and the rate of approximation for the max-product NN and QI operators are studied. Estimates involving the modulus of continuity of the functions being approximated have been derived. Several examples are provided together with some applications and graphical representations.
