Mapping some basic functions and operations to multilayer feedforward neural networks for modeling nonlinear dynamical systems and beyond
TL;DR: This study examines linear sums of sigmoidal functions as a means to construct approximations to various nonlinear functions including reciprocal, absolute value, the product of absolute value and first-order polynomial, exponential, truncated sinc, Mexican hat, and Gaussian functions as well as the four elementary arithmetic operations.
