Abstract: A zonal function (ZF) network on the q dimensional sphere mathbbSq is a network of the form mathbfxmapstosumk=1nakphi(mathbfxcdotmathbfxk) where phi:[1,1]omathbfR is the activation function, mathbfxkinmathbbSq are the centers, and akinmathbbR. While the approximation properties of such networks are well studied in the context of positive definite activation functions, recent interest in deep and shallow networks motivate the study of activation functions of the form phi(t)=|t|, which are not positive definite. In this paper, we define an appropriate smoothess class and establish approximation properties of such networks for functions in this class. The centers can be chosen independently of the target function, and the coefficients are linear combinations of the training data. The constructions preserve rotational symmetries.
