Abstract:
A special class of approximations of measurable functions of several variables on the unit coordinate cube is investigated. The class is constructed on the base of Kolmogorov's theorem (in version by Sprecher–Golubkov) stating that a continuous function $f$ of several variables can be represented as a finite superposition of continuous single-variable functions — so called outer functions (which depend of $f$) and inner one $\Psi$ (which is independent of $f$ and is monotone). In the case of continuous functions $f$ the class under study is obtained with outer functions approximated by linear combinations of quadratic exponentials (also known as Gaussian functions or Gaussian kernels) and with the inner function $\Psi$ approximated by Laplace functions. As is known, a measurable function $f$ can be approximated by a continuous one (up to a set of small measure) with the help of classical Luzin's theorem. The effectiveness of such approach is based on assertions that, firstly, the Mexican hat mother wavelet on any fixed bounded interval can be approximated as accurately as desired by a linear combination of two Gaussian functions, and, secondly, that a continuous monotone function on such an interval can be approximated as accurately as desired by a linear combination of translations and dilations of the Laplace integral (in other words, Laplace functions). It is proved that the class of approximations under study is dense everywhere in the class of continuous multivariable functions on the coordinate cube. For the case of continuous and piecewise continuous functions of two variables, numerical results are presented that confirm the effectiveness of approximations of the studied class.
