• Abstract summary: We study the statistical limits of deep learning techniques for solving elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) from random samples. To simplify the problem, we focus on a prototype elliptic PDE: the Schr"odinger equation on a hypercube with zero Dirichlet boundary condition. We establish upper and lower bounds for both methods, which improves upon concurrently developed upper bounds for this problem.

• Abstract: In this paper, we study the statistical limits of deep learning techniques for solving elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) from random samples using the Deep Ritz Method (DRM) and Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). To simplify the problem, we focus on a prototype elliptic PDE: the Schr\"odinger equation on a hypercube with zero Dirichlet boundary condition, which has wide application in the quantum-mechanical systems. We establish upper and lower bounds for both methods, which improves upon concurrently developed upper bounds for this problem via a fast rate generalization bound. We discover that the current Deep Ritz Methods is sub-optimal and propose a modified version of it. We also prove that PINN and the modified version of DRM can achieve minimax optimal bounds over Sobolev spaces. Empirically, following recent work which has shown that the deep model accuracy will improve with growing training sets according to a power law, we supply computational experiments to show a similar behavior of dimension dependent power law for deep PDE solvers.

We analyze the ability of neural SDEs to approximate trajectories of the Fokker-Planck equation, revealing the advantages of neurality.

In particular, we parameterize the PDE solution by the Gaussian smoothed model and show that, derived from Stein's Identity, the second-order derivatives can be efficiently calculated without back-propagation. Experimental results show that our proposed method can achieve competitive error compared to standard PINN training but is two orders of magnitude faster.
