It is proved by construction that height-$s$ ReLU NestNets with $\mathcal{O}(n)$ parameters can approximate $1$-Lipschitz continuous functions on $[0, 1]^d$ with an error $\mathcal{O}(n^{-(s+1)/d})$, while the optimal approximation error of standard ReLU networks with $\mathcal{O}(n)$ parameters is $\mathcal{O}(n^{-2/d})$.

More generally for an arbitrary continuous function $f$ on $[0, 1]^d$ with a modulus of continuity $\omega_f(\cdot)$, the constructive approximation rate is $\omega_f(\sqrt{d}\, N^{-\sqrt{L}})+2\omega_f(\sqrt{d}){N^{-\sqrt{L}}}$.

We present the viewpoint that optimization problems encountered in machine learning can often be interpreted as minimizing a convex functional over a function space, but with a non-convex constraint set introduced by model parameterization.

In particular, for any function $f$ on $[0, 1]$, regardless of its smoothness and even the continuity, if $f$ can be approximated using a dictionary when $L=1$ with the best $N$-term approximation rate $\varepsilon_{L, f}={\cal O}(N^{-\eta})$, we show that dictionaries with $L=2$ can improve the best $N$-term approximation rate to $\varepsilon_{L, f}={\cal O}(N^{-2\eta})$.
