## Abstract
Generalizes the universal approximation theorem for functional input neural networks (FNN) to differentiable maps by including the approximation of the derivatives. A FNN maps the input from a possibly infinite-dimensional weighted manifold to the real-valued hidden layer, on which a non-linear scalar activation function is applied, and then returns the output into a Banach space via some linear readouts. By proving a weighted Nachbin theorem, establishes a universal approximation theorem (UAT) for differentiable maps, which goes beyond the usual formulation on compact sets and also includes the approximation of the derivatives. Leads to approximation results for non-anticipative functionals including the horizontal and vertical derivatives. Also shows that linear functions of the signature are able to approximate path space functionals including their directional derivatives.
