Cover Story: This paper studies symmetrized neural network (SNN) operators generated by an adjustable half-hyperbolic tangent activation function. The construction is based on the paired density kernels ℵt and ℵ1/t, whose average defines the symmetric kernel ℱ. Using ℱ, we define finite-interval and whole-line SNN operators in the Banach space-valued setting. Pointwise and uniform convergence estimates are obtained through the first modulus of continuity. Higher-order and fractional approximation estimates are also derived, the latter using Caputo–Bochner fractional derivatives. The parameter tests further show that the performance depends on the joint choice of n, t, and ξ. Overall, the results indicate that symmetrization improves approximation accuracy, while parameter tuning remains necessary. View this paper

Suppose that T is a normal spanning tree (depth-first search tree) of a graph G. If e=xy and e′=uv are edges of G, satisfying x≺Tu≺Ty≺Tv, then they are called secant edges of G with respect to T. Suppose that G has no secant e...
