  1. Abstract In this work, we present a comprehensive study combining mathematical and computational analysis to explain why a two-layer neural network struggles to handle high frequencies in both approximation and learning, especially when machine precision, numerical noise and computational cost are significant factors in practice. Specifically, we investigate the following fundamental computational issues: (1) the minimal numerical error achievable under finite precision, (2) the computational cost required to attain a given accuracy and (3) the stability of the method with respect to perturbations. The core of our analysis lies in the conditioning of the representation and its learning dynamics. Explicit answers to these questions are provided, along with supporting numerical evidence.
