Let g be a slowly increasing function of locally bounded variation defined on Rc, 1 ≤c≤d. We investigate when g can be an activation function of the hidden-layer units of three-layer neural networks that approximate continuous functions on compact sets. If the support of the Fourier transform of g includes a converging sequence of points with distinct distances from the origin, it can be an activation function without scaling. If and only if the support of its Fourier transform includes a point other than the origin, it can be an activation function with scaling. We also look for a condition on which an activation function can be used for approximation without rotation. Any nonpolynomial functions can be activation functions with scaling, and many familiar functions, such as sigmoid functions and radial basis functions, can be activation functions without scaling. With or without scaling, some of them defined on Rd can be used without rotation even if they are not spherically symmetric.

The main aim of the present note is to compare C(X) and C(υX), the spaces of real-valued continuous functions on a completely regular space X and its real 1–1 compactification υX, with regard to weak compactness and weak countable compactness. In a sense to be made precise below, it is shown that C(X) and C(υX) have the same absolutely convex weakly countably compact sets. In certain circumstances countable compactness may be replaced by compactness, in which case one obtains a nice representation of the Mackey completion of the dual space of C(X) (Theorems 5, 6, 7).

By the classical Banach-Stone Theorem any surjective isometry between Banach spaces of bounded continuous functions defined on compact sets is given by a homeomorphism of the domains. We prove that the same description applies to isometries of metric spaces of unbounded continuous functions defined on non compact topological spaces.

For a very large class of topological semigroups, we establish lower and upper bounds for the cardinality of the set of left invariant means on the space of left uniformly continuous functions. In certain cases we show that such a cardinality is exactly , where b is the smallest cardinality of the covering of the underlying topological semigroup by compact sets.

We characterize compact sets of𝔼1endowed with the level convergence topologyτℓ. We also describe the completion(𝔼1̂,𝒰̂)of𝔼1with respect to its natural uniformity, that is, the pointwise uniformity𝒰, and show other topological properties of𝔼1̂, as separability. We apply these results to give an Arzela-Ascoli theorem for the space of(𝔼1,τℓ)-valued continuous functions on a locally compact topological space equipped with the compact-open topology.
