Exponential Convergence of Deep Operator Networks for Elliptic Partial Differential Equations

arXiv:2112. 08125v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We construct and analyze approximation rates of deep operator networks (ONets) between infinite-dimensional spaces that emulate with an exponential rate of convergence the coefficient-to-solution map of elliptic second-order partial differential equations.

Random test functions, $H^{-1}$ norm equivalence, and stochastic variational physics-informed neural networks

arXiv:2605. 03542v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The dual norm characterisation of weak solutions of second-order linear elliptic partial differential equations is mathematically natural but computationally intractable: evaluating the $H^{-1}$ norm of the residual requires a supremum over an infinite-dimensional test space.

Residual neural networks overcome the curse of dimensionality for semilinear heat equations

arXiv:2609. 03626v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Rigorous results show that feedforward neural networks can overcome the curse of dimensionality in the numerical approximation of high-dimensional partial differential equations (PDEs), but comparatively little is known about residual neural networks (ResNets) in the nonlinear PDE setting.

Boundary-Adapted PINNs for Elliptic Dirichlet Problems: $H^2(\Omega)$ A Priori Error Bounds with Application to Mean Escape Time Computation

arXiv:2607. 19167v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by the numerical computation of the Mean Escape Time (MET) $\tau:\Omega\to\mathbb{R}$ of a stochastic process from a bounded domain $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$, we study elliptic Dirichlet boundary value problems (BVPs) using boundary-enforced Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), in which the Dirichlet condition is imposed exactly by multiplying the network output with a predefined distance-to-boundary approximation $\rho$.

Rigorous Error Certification for Neural PDE Solvers: From Empirical Residuals to Solution Guarantees

The paper presents a theoretical framework for certifying the accuracy of physics‑informed neural networks (PINNs) used to solve partial differential equations. It derives generalization bounds that link the residual loss minimized during training to the actual error in the solution space, showing that if the neural approximation stays within a compact subset, a vanishing residual guarantees convergence to the true solution. Deterministic and probabilistic convergence results are provided, offering explicit error guarantees based on residual, boundary, and initial condition errors.

Optimal Neural Network Approximation via Empirical Least Squares with Deterministic Samples

arXiv:2608. 06687v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a rigorous theory of discrete residual least-squares approximation for elliptic spectral equations $\mathfrak L_\beta u=f$ using linearized ReLU$^k$ neural networks on the sphere, where $\mathfrak L_\beta$ is a positive elliptic spectral multiplier of order $\beta$.

Enforcing Dirichlet Boundary Conditions in Operator Learning

The paper introduces a neural operator architecture that inherently satisfies homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions by constraining each layer’s output to lie within the span of selected Dirichlet eigenfunctions of the Laplacian. This design works for any bounded domain with a Lipschitz boundary and any discretization, avoiding the restrictions of previous methods. The authors prove universal approximation for their architecture and demonstrate its effectiveness on Darcy flow and Helmholtz equation problems.
