In this paper, we introduce adaptive neuron enhancement (ANE) method for the best least-squares approximation using two-layer ReLU neural networks (NNs). For a given function f(x), the ANE method generates a two-layer ReLU NN and a numerical integration mesh such that the approximation accuracy is within the prescribed tolerance. The ANE method provides a natural process for obtaining a good initialization which is crucial for training nonlinear optimization problems. Numerical results of the ANE method are presented for functions of two variables exhibiting either intersecting interface singularities or sharp interior layers.

In this paper, we study adaptive neuron enhancement (ANE) method for solving self-adjoint second-order elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs). The ANE method is a self-adaptive method generating a two-layer spline NN and a numerical integrati on mesh such that the approximation accuracy is within the prescribed tolerance. Moreover, the ANE method provides a natural process for obtaining a good initialization which is crucial for training nonlinear optimization problem. The underlying PDE is discretized by the Ritz method using a two-layer spline neural network based on either the primal or dual formulations that minimize the respective energy or complimentary functionals. Essential boundary conditions are imposed weakly through the functionals with proper norms. It is proved that the Ritz approximation is the best approximation in the energy norm; moreover, effect of numerical integration for the Ritz approximation is analyzed as well. Two estimators for adaptive neuron enhancement method are introduced, one is the so-called recovery estimator and the other is the least-squares estimator. Finally, numerical results for diffusion problems with either corner or intersecting interface singularities are presented.
This paper studies least-squares ReLU neural network method for solving the linear advection-reaction problem with discontinuous solution. The method is a discretization of an equivalent least-squares formulation in the set of neural network function s with the ReLU activation function. The method is capable of approximating the discontinuous interface of the underlying problem automatically through the free hyper-planes of the ReLU neural network and, hence, outperforms mesh-based numerical methods in terms of the number of degrees of freedom. Numerical results of some benchmark test problems show that the method can not only approximate the solution with the least number of parameters, but also avoid the common Gibbs phenomena along the discontinuous interface. Moreover, a three-layer ReLU neural network is necessary and sufficient in order to well approximate a discontinuous solution with an interface in $mathbb{R}^2$ that is not a straight line.
We introduced the least-squares ReLU neural network (LSNN) method for solving the linear advection-reaction problem with discontinuous solution and showed that the method outperforms mesh-based numerical methods in terms of the number of degrees of f reedom. This paper studies the LSNN method for scalar nonlinear hyperbolic conservation law. The method is a discretization of an equivalent least-squares (LS) formulation in the set of neural network functions with the ReLU activation function. Evaluation of the LS functional is done by using numerical integration and conservative finite volume scheme. Numerical results of some test problems show that the method is capable of approximating the discontinuous interface of the underlying problem automatically through the free breaking lines of the ReLU neural network. Moreover, the method does not exhibit the common Gibbs phenomena along the discontinuous interface.
Neural Networks (NNs) are the method of choice for building learning algorithms. Their popularity stems from their empirical success on several challenging learning problems. However, most scholars agree that a convincing theoretical explanation for this success is still lacking. This article surveys the known approximation properties of the outputs of NNs with the aim of uncovering the properties that are not present in the more traditional methods of approximation used in numerical analysis. Comparisons are made with traditional approximation methods from the viewpoint of rate distortion. Another major component in the analysis of numerical approximation is the computational time needed to construct the approximation and this in turn is intimately connected with the stability of the approximation algorithm. So the stability of numerical approximation using NNs is a large part of the analysis put forward. The survey, for the most part, is concerned with NNs using the popular ReLU activation function. In this case, the outputs of the NNs are piecewise linear functions on rather complicated partitions of the domain of $f$ into cells that are convex polytopes. When the architecture of the NN is fixed and the parameters are allowed to vary, the set of output functions of the NN is a parameterized nonlinear manifold. It is shown that this manifold has certain space filling properties leading to an increased ability to approximate (better rate distortion) but at the expense of numerical stability. The space filling creates a challenge to the numerical method in finding best or good parameter choices when trying to approximate.
We consider best approximation problems in a nonlinear subset $mathcal{M}$ of a Banach space of functions $(mathcal{V},|bullet|)$. The norm is assumed to be a generalization of the $L^2$-norm for which only a weighted Monte Carlo estimate $|bullet|_n $ can be computed. The objective is to obtain an approximation $vinmathcal{M}$ of an unknown function $u in mathcal{V}$ by minimizing the empirical norm $|u-v|_n$. We consider this problem for general nonlinear subsets and establish error bounds for the empirical best approximation error. Our results are based on a restricted isometry property (RIP) which holds in probability and is independent of the nonlinear least squares setting. Several model classes are examined where analytical statements can be made about the RIP and the results are compared to existing sample complexity bounds from the literature. We find that for well-studied model classes our general bound is weaker but exhibits many of the same properties as these specialized bounds. Notably, we demonstrate the advantage of an optimal sampling density (as known for linear spaces) for sets of functions with sparse representations.
