Title:A structured proof of Kolmogorov's Superposition Theorem
View PDFAbstract:We present a well-structured detailed exposition of a well-known proof of the following celebrated result solving Hilbert's 13th problem on superpositions. For functions of 2 variables the statement is as follows.
Kolmogorov Theorem. There are continuous functionsφ1,…,φ5:[0,1]→[0,1] such that for any continuous functionf:[0,1]2→R there is a continuous functionh:[0,3]→R such that for anyx,y∈[0,1] we haveThe proof is accessible to non-specialists, in particular, to students familiar with only basic properties of continuous functions.f(x,y)=∑k=15h(φk(x)+2–√φk(y)).
