A superposition theorem of Kolmogorov type for bounded continuous functions

Abstract: Let

C ({m a t h b b R}^{n})

denote the set of real valued continuous functions defined on

{m a t h b b R}^{n}

. We prove that for every

n g e 2

there are positive numbers

l a m b d a_{1}, l d o t s, l a m b d a_{n}

and continuous functions

p h i_{1}, l d o t s, p h i_{m} i n C (m a t h b b R)

with the following property: for every bounded and continuous

f i n C ({m a t h b b R}^{n})

there is a continuous function

g i n C (m a t h b b R)

such that

f(x)=sum_{q=1}^m gleft( sum_{p=1}^n lambda _p phi _q (x_p ) ight)

for every

x = (x_{1}, l d o t s, x_{n}) i n {m a t h b b R}^{n}

. Consequently, every

f i n C ({m a t h b b R}^{n})

can be obtained from continuous functions of one variable using compositions and additions.
