Approximation rates of DeepONets for learning operators arising from advection–diffusion equations

Journal Article · · Neural Networks

Here we present the analysis of approximation rates of operator learning in Chen and Chen (1995) and Lu et al. (2021), where continuous operators are approximated by a sum of products of branch and trunk networks. In this work, we consider the rates of learning solution operators from both linear and nonlinear advection–diffusion equations with or without reaction. We find that the approximation rates depend on the architecture of branch networks as well as the smoothness of inputs and outputs of solution operators.
