Key Points

  • The paper introduces and analyzes multivariate Kantorovich–kernel neural network operators, covering deep Kantorovich-type architectures as a special case of prior work.
  • It proves approximation-theory results including density theorems, Korovkin-type theorems, and inversion theorems, alongside quantitative convergence rates.
  • The authors derive Voronovskaya-type asymptotic results and study how partial differential equation behavior emerges (or changes) under limits of deep composite operators.
  • The work connects modern neural network operator constructions to classical positive approximation operators from the literature (e.g., Chui, Hsu, He, Lorentz, Korovkin), framing the architecture–theory relationship.

Abstract

This paper studies a class of multivariate Kantorovich-kernel neural network operators, including the deep Kantorovich-type neural network operators studied by Sharma and Singh. We prove density results, establish quantitative convergence estimates, derive Voronovskaya-type theorems, analyze the limits of partial differential equations for deep composite operators, prove Korovkin-type theorems, and propose inversion theorems.

We prove density results, establish quantitative convergence estimates, derive Voronovskaya-type theorems, analyze the limits of partial differential equations for deep composite operators, prove Korovkin-type theorems, and propose inversion theorems. Furthermore, this paper discusses the connection between neural network architectures and the classical positive operators proposed by Chui, Hsu, He, Lorentz, and Korovkin.
