Hornik, Stinchcombe, and White used this theorem to prove an analog of it for neural networks that is often called the UAT. A probabilistic proof of this theorem applies the weak law of large numbers to a sequence of functions named for Bernstein. In its modern form, this theorem is typically stated in terms of sub-algebras that separate points and contain a nonzero constant. This theorem implies that the space (*) C-zero-comma-one is separable with respect to capital-L-infinity, meaning that it has a countable dense subset. For suitable functions f, this theorem gives a function p such that the maximal distance between f and p is less than epsilon. For 10 points, name this theorem that states that any continuous function on a bounded interval can be arbitrarily approximated by a polynomial, developed by a German mathematician and generalized by Marshall H. Stone. ■END■
ANSWER: Weierstrass approximation theorem [or Stone–Weierstrass theorem] (The UAT is the universal approximation theorem.)
