Abstract

We prove that any continuous function f from [0,1]^n to R representable by a finite computation tree with N internal nodes and compositional sparsity s = O(1) admits a deep Kolmogorov-Arnold Network (KAN) representation. Each internal node is realised by a primitive KAN block with controlled block depth and Lipschitz product.

The layer-wise Lipschitz product satisfies the primary domain-sensitive bound independent of the input dimension n. It simplifies to P(KAN_f) <= max(C*,1)^L_f with L_f <= c_max * N.

For the standard operations {+,-,x,sin,cos} with x nodes on [0,1]-bounded inputs we obtain P(KAN) <= 1. Layer widths satisfy n_l <= n + 2 w_max * N.

The uniform approximation error is bounded by N * max(C*,1)^d(f) * epsilon_Op (simplifies when C* <=1). For f in C^m we obtain optimal B-spline rates.

Range bounds are also derived (B_f <= N+1 for additive trees). This addresses the gap on Lipschitz control in deep KAN stacks noted by Liu et al.

(2024). Experiments confirm P(KAN)=1.0 for several compositionally structured functions.
