Enhancing Neural Function Approximation: The XNet Outperforming KAN

XNet is a single-layer neural network architecture that leverages Cauchy integral-based activation functions for high-order function approximation. Through theoretical analysis, we show that the Cauchy activation functions used in XNet can achieve arbitrary-order polynomial convergence, fundamentally outperforming traditional MLPs and Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) that rely on increased depth or B-spline activations. Our extensive experiments on function approximation, PDE solving, and reinforcement learning demonstrate XNet's superior performance - reducing approximation error by up to 50000 times and accelerating training by up to 10 times compared to existing approaches. These results establish XNet as a highly efficient architecture for both scientific computing and AI applications.

Model Comparisons: XNet Outperforms KAN

In the fields of computational mathematics and artificial intelligence, the need for precise data modeling is crucial, especially for predictive machine learning tasks. This paper explores further XNet, a novel algorithm that employs the complex-valued Cauchy integral formula, offering a superior network architecture that surpasses traditional Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) and Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs). XNet significant improves speed and accuracy across various tasks in both low and high-dimensional spaces, redefining the scope of data-driven model development and providing substantial improvements over established time series models like LSTMs.
