The paper investigates how many linear samples are needed to learn Lipschitz operators under Gaussian measures. It establishes both lower and upper bounds on the Hermite polynomial approximation error and shows that the minimal worst‑case error cannot converge algebraically with the number of samples. However, if the covariance operator of the Gaussian measure decays rapidly, convergence rates arbitrarily close to any algebraic rate can be achieved.

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.
