In doing some development work on forming completely enclosed
boundaries, I stumbled across a lower limit on the number of 
hidden nodes required to form a completely enclosed boundary
in an N dimensional input space using a feed forward ANN with
a monotonically increasing activation function. No one around
here has heard of such a lower limit.  Do any of you know if 
such a limit has already been written up ? If so where ?

Thanks in advance
