Decomposition of one-layer neural networks via the infinite sum of reproducing kernel Banach spaces

TL;DR
This work addresses the structural understanding of integral Reproducing Kernel Banach Spaces (RKBS) and the hypothesis spaces of infinitely wide neural networks. It introduces an infinite sum of RKBSs and proves its compatibility with the direct sum of their feature spaces, enabling a decomposition of the integral RKBS $\mathcal{F}_{\sigma}(\mathcal{X},\Omega)$ into a sum of $p$-norm RKBSs $\mathcal{L}_{\sigma}^{1}(\mu_i)$ via maximal singular families. The main contributions are (i) a rigorous construction and characterization of the sum of RKBSs and its isometric relationship to the direct-sum feature-space representation, (ii) a decomposition of the integral RKBS into separable components that clarifies inclusion relations and algebraic/topological properties, and (iii) applications to existence of general solutions for one-layer networks, reformulation schemes that move between feature- and hypothesis-spaces, and a revisited representer theorem in the RKBS framework. The results provide a structural lens for learning in RKBS spaces and suggest practical benefits for designing modular, kernel-based learning systems and potential advances in multiple kernel learning within RKBS settings.
Abstract
In this paper, we define the sum of RKBSs using the characterization theorem of RKBSs and show that the sum of RKBSs is compatible with the direct sum of feature spaces. Moreover, we decompose the integral RKBS into the sum of $p$-norm RKBSs. Finally, we provide applications for the structural understanding of the integral RKBS class.
