| contents | We prove that two fixed univariate functions, namely, an arbitrary continuous non-affine function and a concrete affine function, are sufficient to approximate continuous functions of one variable under the operations of addition and composition. The same fixed functions can also be used to approximate multivariate continuous functions, provided that the coordinate functions are also available. |
