TLDR
An additive fuzzy system can uniformly approximate any real continuous function on a compact domain to any degree of accuracy.
Abstract
An additive fuzzy system can uniformly approximate any real continuous function on a compact domain to any degree of accuracy. An additive fuzzy system approximates the function by covering its graph with fuzzy patches in the input-output state space and averaging patches that overlap. The fuzzy system computes a conditional expectation E|Y|X| if we view the fuzzy sets as random sets. Each fuzzy rule defines a fuzzy patch and connects commonsense knowledge with state-space geometry. Neural or statistical clustering systems can approximate the unknown fuzzy patches from training data. These adaptive fuzzy systems approximate a function at two levels. At the local level the neural system approximates and tunes the fuzzy rules. At the global level the rules or patches approximate the function. >

Multilayer feedforward networks are universal approximators

TL;DR: It is rigorously established that standard multilayer feedforward networks with as few as one hidden layer using arbitrary squashing functions are capable of approximating any Borel measurable function from one finite dimensional space to another to any desired degree of accuracy, provided sufficiently many hidden units are available.
