• Abstract: Numerous developments in the recent literature show the promising potential of deep learning in obtaining numerical solutions to partial differential equations (PDEs) beyond the reach of current numerical solvers. However, data-driven neural operators all suffer from a similar problem: the data needed to train a network depends on classical numerical solvers such as finite difference or finite element, among others. In this paper, we propose a different approach to generating synthetic functional training data that does not require solving a PDE numerically. We draw a large number $N$ of independent and identically distributed 'random functions' $u_j$ from the underlying solution space (e.g., $H_0^1(\Omega)$) in which we know the solution lies according to classical theory. We then plug each such random candidate solution into the equation and get a corresponding right-hand side function $f_j$ for the equation, and consider $(f_j, u_j)_{j=1}^N$ as supervised training data for learning the underlying inverse problem $f \rightarrow u$. This `backwards' approach to generating training data only requires derivative computations, in contrast to standard `forward' approaches, which require a numerical PDE solver, enabling us to generate many data points quickly and efficiently. While the idea is simple, we hope this method will expand the potential for developing neural PDE solvers that do not depend on classical numerical solvers.

  Learning a nonparametric system of ordinary differential equations requires learning $d$ functions of $d$ variables. Explicit formulations scale quadratically in $d$ unless additional knowledge about system properties, such as sparsity and symmetries, is available. We propose a linear approach to learning using the implicit formulation provided by vector-valued Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces.
