Abstract: We construct four Schauder bases for the space C[0, 1], one using ReLU functions, another using Softplus functions, and two more using sigmoidal versions of the ReLU and Softplus functions. This establishes the existence of a basis using these functions for the first time, andimproves on the universal approximation property associated with them. We also show an O(1n) approximation bound based on our ReLU basis, and a negative result on constructing multivariate functions using finite combinations of ReLU functions.
