Theoretical results on approximation of multivariable functions by feedforward neural networks are surveyed. Some proofs of universal approximation capabilities of networks with perceptrons and radial units are sketched. Major tools for estimation of rates of decrease of approximation errors with increasing model complexity are proven. Properties of best approximation are discussed. Recent results on dependence of model complexity on input dimension are presented and some cases when multivariable functions can be tractably approximated are described. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
