Is there an example of universal approximators whose value at the origin is fixed as zero?

21 Views Asked by At

I'd like to know whether there is an example of universal approximators whose value at the origin is fixed as zero.

Motivation

Let's think about $C_{0} := \{f:X \to \mathbb{R}| f \text{is continuous}, f(0)=0\}$, where $X \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is a compact set. One may use a universal approximator $\hat{f}$ (e.g., feedforward neural network) to approximate any function $f$ in $C_{0}$ for every $\epsilon > 0$ so that $$ \lVert \hat{f} - f \rVert_{\infty} < \epsilon. $$ But one cannot guarantee that $\hat{f}(0) = 0$.

Question

Given $f \in C_0$, for every $\epsilon > 0$, is there any universal approximator $\hat{f}_{0}$ such that $\lVert \hat{f}_0 - f\rVert_{\infty} <\epsilon$ and $\hat{f}_0(0) = 0$?

Notes

EDIT: I'd like to know the name of $C_{0}$ or such universal approximator $\hat{f}_0$ if it exists.
