This paper proposes a novel neural network structure called Multi-Component and Multi-Layer Neural Networks (MMNNs) for approximating complex functions with high accuracy and efficiency. The MMNN architecture is inspired by the divide-and-conquer strategy, where each component can be effectively approximated by a single-layer network, and multiple layers are used to decompose complex functions. Compared to fully connected neural networks (FCNNs) or multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs), MMNNs reduce training parameters, accelerate the training process, and improve accuracy. The paper demonstrates the effectiveness of MMNNs in approximating high oscillatory functions and capturing localized features through extensive numerical experiments.

This research introduces a new way to build neural networks that can accurately approximate complex patterns with fewer calculations. The team proposes an innovative architecture called Multi-Component and Multi-Layer Neural Networks (MMNNs). This approach breaks down complex functions into smaller, more manageable parts, allowing for faster training and improved accuracy. The paper shows how MMNNs can be used to model high-frequency patterns and capture specific features in data.
