I think the following may be relevant :-

@article{
	title="Bounds on the number of hidden neurons in multilayer perceptrons",
	author="Huang S and Huang Y",
	year=1991,
	volume=2,
	number=1,
	pages="47--55",
	journal= "{IEE} transactions on neural networks",
	}

ps. What is your answer for lower limit ?
