We establish optimal convergence rates up to a log-factor for a class of deep neural networks in a classification setting under a restraint sometimes referred to as the Tsybakov noise condition. We construct classifiers in a general setting where the boundary of the bayes-rule can be approximated well by neural networks. Corresponding rates of convergence are proven with respect to the misclassification error. It is then shown that these rates are optimal in the minimax sense if the boundary satisfies a smoothness condition. Non-optimal convergence rates already exist for this setting. Our main contribution lies in improving existing rates and showing optimality, which was an open problem. Furthermore, we show almost optimal rates under some additional restraints which circumvent the curse of dimensionality. For our analysis we require a condition which gives new insight on the restraint used. In a sense it acts as a requirement for the "correct noise exponent" for a class of functions.
