Catastrophic forgetting remains the central obstacle in continual learning (CL): parameters shared across tasks interfere with one another, and existing regularization methods such as EWC and SI apply uniform penalties without awareness of which input region a parameter serves. We propose KAN-CL, a continual learning framework that exploits the compact-support spline parameterization of Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) to perform importance-weighted anchoring at per-knot granularity. Deployed as a classification head on a convolutional backbone with standard EWC regularization on the backbone (bbEWC) KAN-CL achieves forgetting reductions of 88% and 93% over a head-only KAN baseline on Split-CIFAR-10/5T and Split-CIFAR-100/10T respectively, while matching or exceeding the accuracy of all baselines on both benchmarks. We further provide a Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) analysis showing that KAN's spline locality induces a structural rank deficit in the cross-task NTK, yielding a forgetting bound that holds even in the feature-learning regime. These results establish that combining an architecture with natural parameter locality (KAN head) with a complementary backbone regularizer (bbEWC) yields a compositional and principled approach to catastrophic forgetting.

There is a longstanding debate whether the Kolmogorov-Arnold representation theorem can explain the use of more than one hidden layer in neural networks. The Kolmogorov-Arnold representation decomposes a multivariate function into an interior and an outer function and therefore has indeed a similar structure as a neural network with two hidden layers. But there are distinctive differences. One of the main obstacles is that the outer function depends on the represented function and can be wildly varying even if the represented function is smooth. We derive modifications of the Kolmogorov-Arnold…

We prove a theorem concerning the approximation of multivariate functions by deep ReLU networks, for which the curse of the dimensionality is lessened. Our theorem is based on a constructive proof of the Kolmogorov--Arnold superposition theorem, and on a subset of multivariate continuous functions whose outer superposition functions can be efficiently approximated by deep ReLU networks.
