Abstract

:
In this article we present the L p , p 1 , approximation properties of activated singular integral operators over the real line. We establish their approximation to the unit operator with rates. The kernels here come from neural network activation functions and we employ the related density functions. The derived inequalities use the high order L p modulus of smoothness.

1. Introduction

The approximation properties of singular integrals have been established earlier in [1,2,3,4]. The classic monograph [5], Ch. 15, inspires us and is the driving force in this paper. Here we study some activated singular integral operators over R and we determine the degree of their L p , p 1 , approximation to the unit operator with rates by the use of smooth functions. We derive related inequalities involving the high L p , p 1 , modulus of smoothness. Our studied operators are not in general positive. The surprising fact here is the reverse process from applied mathematics to theoretical ones. Our kernels here are derived by density functions coming from activation functions related to neural networks approximation, see [6,7]. Of great interest and motivating the author are also the articles [8,9,10,11,12]. In recent intense mathematical activity by the use of neural networks in solving numerically differential equations our current work is expected to play a pivotal role, as in the classic case played the earlier versions of singular integrals.
Regarding the history of the topic we make reference to the 2012 monograph [5] from 2012, which was the first comprehensive work to address the traditional theory of approximation by singular integral operators to the identity-unit operator in its entirety. The fundamental approximation features of the generic Picard, Gauss-Weierstrass, Poisson-Cauchy and Trigonometric singular integral operators over the real line were presented. These are not positive linear operators. They specifically looked into the rate at which these operators converge to the unit operator and their associated simultaneous approximation. This is provided by use of high order modulus of smoothness of the high order derivative of the engaged function via inequalities. It has been shown that some of these inequalities are sharp, in fact they are attained.

2. Essential Background

Everything in this section comes from [5], Ch. 15. In the following we mention and deal with the smooth general singular integral operators Θ r , ξ f , x defined as follows.
For r N and n Z + , we set
α j : = 1 r j r j j n , j = 1 , , r . 1 j = 1 r 1 r j r j j n , j = 0 ,
that is j = 0 r α j = 1 . Let ξ > 0 , and let μ ξ be Borel probability measures on R .
Let f C n R and f n L p R , 1 p < ; we define for x R , ξ > 0 the integral
Θ r , ξ f , x : = j = 0 r α j f x + j t d μ ξ t .
The Θ r , ξ operators are not in general positive operators; see [5].
We notice that Θ r , ξ c , x = c , c constant, and
Θ r , ξ f , x f x = j = 0 r α j f x + j t f x d μ ξ t .
We need the rth L p -modulus of smoothness
ω r f n , h p : = sup t h Δ t r f n x p , x , h > 0 ,
where
Δ t r f n x : = j = 0 r 1 r j r j f n x + j t ,
see [13], p. 44. Here, we have ω r f n , h p < , h > 0 .
We need to introduce
δ k : = j = 0 r α j j k , k = 1 , , n N .
Call
τ w , x : = j = 0 r α j j n f n x + j w δ n f n x .
Notice also that
j = 1 r 1 r j r j = 1 r r 0 .
According to [5], we get
τ w , x = Δ w r f n x .
Thus,
τ w , x p , x ω r f n , w p , w R .
Using Taylor’s formula, one has
j = 0 r α j f x + j t f x = k = 1 n f k x k ! δ k t k + R n 0 , t , x ,
where
R n , t , x : = 0 t t w n 1 n 1 ! τ w , x d w , n N .
Assume
c k , ξ : = t k d μ ξ t R , k = 1 , , n .
Using the above terminology, we derive
Δ x : = Θ r , ξ f ; x f x k = 1 n f k x k ! δ k c k , ξ = R n * x ,
where
R n * x : = R n 0 , t , x d μ ξ t , n N .
We mention the first result.
Theorem 1
([5]). Let p , q > 1 , such that 1 p + 1 q = 1 , n N and the rest as above. Furthermore, assume that
M ξ : = 1 + t ξ r p + 1 1 t n p 1 d μ ξ t < .
Then,
Δ x p 1 n 1 ! q n 1 + 1 1 q r p + 1 1 p
1 + t ξ r p + 1 1 t n p 1 d μ ξ t 1 p ξ 1 p ω r f n , ξ p .
If M ξ λ ¯ , ξ < 0 , λ ¯ > 0 , and as ξ 0 we get that Δ x p 0 .
The counterpart of Theorem 1 follows in case of p = 1 .
Theorem 2
([5]). Let f C n R and f n L 1 R , n N . Assume that
1 + t ξ r + 1 1 t n 1 d μ ξ t < .
Then,
Δ x 1 1 r + 1 n 1 !
1 + t ξ r + 1 1 t n 1 d μ ξ t ξ ω r f n , ξ 1 .
Additionally, assume that
1 + t ξ r + 1 1 t n 1 d μ ξ t λ ¯ , λ ¯ > 0 ,
ξ > 0 . Hence, as ξ 0 , we obtain Δ x 1 0 .
The case n = 0 follows.
Proposition 1.
Let p , q > 1 , such that 1 p + 1 q = 1 , and the rest as above. Assume that
ρ ξ : = 1 + t ξ r p d μ ξ t < .
Then,
Θ r , ξ f f p ω r f , ξ p 1 + t ξ r p d μ ξ t 1 p .
Additionally, assume that ρ ξ λ ¯ , λ ¯ > 0 , ξ > 0 ; then, as ξ 0 , we obtain Θ r , ξ unit operator I in the L p norm, p > 1 .
We finally need
Proposition 2.
Assume
1 + t ξ r d μ ξ t < .
Then,
Θ r , ξ f f 1 ω r f , ξ 1 1 + t ξ r d μ ξ t .
Additionally, assuming that
1 + t ξ r d μ ξ t λ ¯ , λ ¯ > 0 ,
ξ > 0 , we obtain as ξ 0 that Θ r , ξ I in the L 1 norm.
We will apply the above theory to our activated singular integral operators; see Section 5.

3. Basics of Activation Functions

Here everything comes from [14].

3.1. On Richards’s Curve

Here, we follow [7], Chapter 1.
A Richards is curve is
φ x = 1 1 + e μ x ; x R , μ > 0 ,
which is strictly increasing on R , and it is a sigmoid function; in particular, this is a generalized logistic function. And it is an activation function in neural networks; see [7], chapter 1.
It is
lim x + φ x = 1 and lim x φ x = 0 .
We consider the function
G x = 1 2 φ x + 1 φ x 1 , x R ,
which is G ( x ) > 0 , and all x R .
It is
φ 0 = 1 2 , φ x = 1 φ x ,
and
G x = G x , x R .
We also have
G 0 = e μ 1 2 e μ + 1 .
We also get
lim x + G x = lim x G x = 0 ,
and G is a bell symmetric function with maximum
G 0 = e μ 1 2 ( e μ + 1 ) .
Theorem 3.
It holds that
i = G x i = 1 , x R .
Theorem 4.
It holds that
G x d x = 1 .
So, G is a density function.
We make
Remark 1.
So, we have
G x = 1 2 φ x + 1 φ x 1 , x R .
(i) Let x 1 . That is, 0 x 1 < x + 1 . Applying the mean value theorem, we get:
G x = 1 2 2 φ η = φ η = μ e μ η 1 + e μ η 2 , μ > 0 ,
where 0 x 1 < η < x + 1 .
Notice that
G x < μ e μ η < μ e μ x 1 , x 1 .
(ii) Now, let x 1 . That is, x 1 < x + 1 0 . Applying again the mean value theorem we get:
G x = 1 2 2 φ η = φ η = μ e μ η 1 + e μ η 2 ,
where x 1 < η < x + 1 0 .
Hence, we derive that
G x < μ e μ η < μ e μ x 1 , x 1 .
Consequently, we proved that
G x < μ e μ x 1 , x ( , 1 ] [ 1 , + ) = R 1 , 1 .
Let 0 < ξ 1 ; it holds that
G x ξ < μ e μ x ξ 1 , x ξ , o r x ξ .
Clearly, by Theorem 4, we have that
1 ξ G x ξ d x = 1 .
So that 1 ξ G x ξ is a density function, and let d μ ξ x : = 1 ξ G x ξ d x , that is μ ξ is a Borel probability measure.
We give the following essential result.
Theorem 5.
Let 0 < ξ 1 , and
c k , ξ * : = 1 ξ x k G x ξ d x , k = 1 , , n N .
Then, c k , ξ * are finite and c k , ξ * 0 , as ξ 0 .
In fact it holds that
c k , ξ * 1 + 2 μ k e μ k ! ξ k < ,
for k = 1 , , n .
Next we present
Theorem 6.
It holds that
t n 1 + t ξ r d μ ξ t < ; r , n N ,
for
d μ ξ x = 1 ξ G x ξ d x , 0 < ξ 1 .
Also, this integral converges to zero, as ξ 0 .
In fact, it holds that
1 ξ x n 1 + x ξ r G x ξ d x
2 r 1 1 + 2 μ n e μ n ! + 1 + 2 μ n + r e μ n + r ! ξ n < .

3.2. On the q-Deformed and λ -Parametrized Hyperbolic Tangent Function g q , λ

We consider the activation function g q , λ , and study its related properties; all of the basics come from [7], ch. 17.
Let the activation function be
g q , λ x = e λ x q e λ x e λ x + q e λ x , λ , q > 0 , x R .
It is
g q , λ 0 = 1 q 1 + q ,
and
g q , λ x = g 1 q , λ x , x R ,
with
g q , λ + = 1 , g q , λ = 1 .
We consider the function
M q , λ x : = 1 4 g q , λ x + 1 g q , λ x 1 > 0 ,
x R , q , λ > 0 . We have M q , λ ± = 0 , so that the x-axis is a horizontal asymptote.
It holds that
M q , λ x = M 1 q , λ x , x R , q , λ > 0 ,
and
M 1 q , λ x = M q , λ x , x R .
The M q , λ maximum is
M q , λ ln q 2 λ = tanh λ 2 , λ > 0 .
Theorem 7.
We have that
i = M q , λ x i = 1 , x R , λ , q > 0 .
Theorem 8.
It holds that
M q , λ x d x = 1 , λ , q > 0 .
So, M q , λ is a density function on R ; λ , q > 0 .
Remark 2.
(i) Let x 1 . That is, 0 x 1 < x + 1 . By the mean value theorem we obtain
M q , λ x = 1 4 g q , λ x + 1 g q , λ x 1 = 1 4 · 2 · 4 q λ e 2 λ ξ e 2 λ ξ + q 2 = 2 q λ e 2 λ ξ e 2 λ ξ + q 2 ,
for some 0 x 1 < ξ < x + 1 ; λ , q > 0 .
But e 2 λ ξ < e 2 λ ξ + q , and
M q , λ x < 2 q λ e 2 λ ξ + q e 2 λ ξ + q 2 = 2 q λ e 2 λ ξ + q < 2 q λ e 2 λ x 1 + q < 2 q λ e 2 λ x 1 ,
x 1 .
That is,
M q , λ x < 2 q λ e 2 λ x 1 , x 1 .
Set μ : = 2 λ , then
M q , λ x < q μ e μ x 1 , x 1 .
(ii) Let now x 1 . That is, x 1 < x + 1 0 . Again, we have
M q , λ x < 2 q λ e 2 λ ξ + q ,
x 1 < ξ < x + 1 0 ;   λ , q > 0 .
We have
e 2 λ x 1 < e 2 λ ξ < e 2 λ x + 1 ,
and
e 2 λ x 1 + q < e 2 λ ξ + q < e 2 λ x + 1 + q .
Hence,
1 e 2 λ ξ + q < 1 e 2 λ x 1 + q .
Therefore, it holds that
M q , λ x < 2 q λ e 2 λ x 1 + q < 2 q λ e 2 λ x 1 , x 1 .
That is
M q , λ x < 2 q λ e 2 λ x 1 , x 1 .
Set μ : = 2 λ ; then,
M q , λ x < q μ e μ x 1 , x 1 .
We have proved that
M q , λ x < q μ e μ x 1 ,
x ( , 1 ] [ 1 , + ) = R 1 , 1 .
Let 0 < ξ 1 ; it holds that
M q , λ x ξ < q μ e μ x ξ 1 , x ξ , o r x ξ .
By Theorem 8, we have
1 ξ M q , λ x ξ d x = 1 .
So that 1 ξ M q , λ x ξ is a density function, and let
d μ ξ x : = 1 ξ M q , λ x ξ d x ,
that is μ ξ is a Borel probability measure.
We give
Theorem 9.
Let
c ¯ k , ξ : = 1 ξ x k M q , λ x ξ d x , k = 1 , , n N .
Then, c ¯ k , ξ are finite and c ¯ k , ξ 0 , as ξ 0 .
In fact, it holds that
c ¯ k , ξ 1 + q + 1 q μ k e μ k ! ξ k < , k = 1 , , n .
It also follows
Theorem 10.
It holds that ( λ , q > 0 ;   r , n N ; 0 < ξ 1 )
1 ξ t n 1 + t ξ r M q , λ t ξ d t
2 r 1 1 + q + 1 q μ n e μ n ! + 1 + q + 1 q μ n + r e μ n + r ! ξ n < ,
and it converges to zero, as ξ 0 .

3.3. On the Gudermannian Generated Activation Function

Here, we follow [6], Ch. 2.
Let the related normalized generator sigmoid function:
f x : = 8 π 0 x 1 e t + e t d t , x R ,
and the neural network activation function be
ψ x : = 1 4 f x + 1 f x 1 > 0 , x R .
We mention
Theorem 11.
It holds that
ψ x d x = 1 .
So that ψ x is a density function.
By [6], p. 49, we found that
ψ x < 2 π cosh x 1 , x 1 .
But
1 cosh x 1 = 2 e x 1 + e x 1 < 2 e x 1 = 2 e x 1 ,
x R .
Therefore, it is
ψ x < 4 π e x 1 = 4 π e e x , x 1 .
So here it is
d μ ξ x = 1 ξ ψ x ξ d x , 0 < ξ 1 ,
the related Borel probability measure.
We give the following results, their proofs as similar to Theorems 5, 6 are omitted.
Theorem 12.
Let 0 < ξ 1 , and
γ k , ξ : = 1 ξ x k ψ x ξ d x , k = 1 , , n N .
Then, γ k , ξ are finite and γ k , ξ 0 , as ξ 0 .
Theorem 13.
It holds
1 ξ t n 1 + t ξ r ψ t ξ d t < ;
r , n N ; 0 < ξ 1 .
Also, this integral converges to zero, as ξ 0 .

3.4. On the q-Deformed and λ -Parametrized Logistic Type Activation Function

Here, all come from [7], Ch. 15.
The activation function now is
φ q , λ x : = 1 1 + q e λ x , x R ,
where q , λ > 0 .
The density function here will be
G q , λ x : = 1 2 φ q , λ x + 1 φ q , λ x 1 > 0 , x R .
We mention
Theorem 14.
It holds that
G q , λ x d x = 1 .
By [7], p. 373, we have
G q , λ x < q λ e λ x 1 , x 1 .
So, here, it is
d μ ξ x = 1 ξ G q , λ x ξ d x , 0 < ξ 1 ,
the related Borel probability measure.
We give the following results, their proofs as similar to Theorems 9, 10 are omitted.
Theorem 15.
Let
δ ¯ k , ξ : = 1 ξ x k G q , λ x ξ d x , k = 1 , , n N .
Then, δ ¯ k , ξ are finite and δ ¯ k , ξ 0 , as ξ 0 .
Theorem 16.
It holds that
I G q , λ , ξ : = 1 ξ t n 1 + t ξ r G q , λ t ξ d t < ;
where λ , q > 0 ;   r , n N ; 0 < ξ 1 .
Also, I G q , λ , ξ 0 , as ξ 0 .

3.5. On the q-Deformed and β -Parametrized Half Hyperbolic Tangent Function φ q , β

Here, all come from [7], Ch. 19.
The activation function now is
φ q , β x : = 1 q e β t 1 + q e β t , t R ,
where q , β > 0 .
The corresponding density function will be
Φ q , β x : = 1 4 φ q , β x + 1 φ q , β x 1 > 0 , x R .
It holds
Theorem 17.
Φ q , β x d x = 1 .
By [7], p. 481, we have that
Φ q , β x < β q e β x 1 , x 1 .
Thus, here, it is
d μ ξ x = 1 ξ Φ q , β x ξ d x , 0 < ξ 1 ,
the related Borel probability measure.
We state the following results; their proofs as similar to Theorems 9, 10 are omitted.
Theorem 18.
Let
ε k , ξ : = 1 ξ x k Φ q , β x ξ d x , k = 1 , , n N .
Then, ε k , ξ are finite, and ε k , ξ 0 , as ξ 0 .
Theorem 19.
It holds that
I Φ q , β , ξ : = 1 ξ t n 1 + t ξ r Φ q , β t ξ d t < ;
where q , β > 0 ;   r , n N ; 0 < ξ 1 .
Also, I Φ q , β , ξ 0 , as ξ 0 .

4. More on Activation Probability Measures
