arXiv:2606. 01244v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Inspired by the function-space theory of neural networks, we formulate and analyze a variation space for nonlinear operators between Hilbert spaces, defined through vector-valued Borel measures of bounded variation.

The paper studies operator learning on function spaces using encoder–decoder architectures. It shows that as input and output resolutions grow, the induced kernels converge to a limiting kernel, enabling regularity assumptions independent of resolution. The authors derive upper and lower bounds for regularized stochastic gradient descent, extend the analysis to neural networks via the limiting neural tangent kernel, and provide error bounds and complexity guarantees for various kernel and encoding constructions.

The paper establishes the first Universal Approximation Theorems for k‑times differentiable nonlinear operators and their derivatives in general Banach spaces, extending classical results to infinite‑dimensional settings. It introduces Derivative‑Informed Operator Learning (DIOL) and formulates Bastiani–Sobolev training for this framework, covering architectures such as DeepONets, Deep‑H‑ONets, and PCA‑Nets. The work also outlines applications to high‑order accuracy in operator learning, constrained optimization in Banach spaces, and numerical methods for infinite‑dimensional PDEs.

arXiv:2609. 03129v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Several classical machine-learning methods, such as KRRs and SVRs, are both computationally and analytically tractable since their estimators either admit closed-form expressions or are obtained by minimizing convex training objectives; neither feature is generally available for deep neural networks.
