On the representation by linear superpositions. (English) Zbl 1136.41001

The author studies the representation of continuous functions by linear superpositions. The possibility of representing a function in such a way is characterized. This depends on the property of closed paths. The work provides an analogue of Kolmogorov’s famous results on superpositions.
