## Abstract (arXiv)

In this paper, we study approximation properties of single hidden layer neural networks with weights varying on finitely many directions and thresholds from an open interval. We obtain a necessary and at the same time sufficient measure theoretic condition for density of such networks in the space of continuous functions. Further, we prove a density result for neural networks with a specifically constructed activation function and a fixed number of neurons.
