A Comparison between Fixed-Basis and Variable-Basis Schemes for Function Approximation and Functional Optimization

Fixed-basis and variable-basis approximation schemes are compared for the problems of function approximation and functional optimization (also known as infinite programming). Classes of problems are investigated for which variable-basis schemes with sigmoidal computational units perform better than...
