In this paper, we establish a neural network to approximate functionals, which are maps from infinite dimensional spaces to finite dimensional spaces. The approximation error of the neural network is $O(1/\sqrt{m})$ where $m$ is the size of networks, which overcomes the curse of dimensionality. The key idea of the approximation is to define a Barron space of functionals.
