• Abstract: Neural operators have emerged as a powerful, discretization-invariant framework for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). Although established approaches like the Deep Operator Network (DeepONet) have successfully achieved universal approximation for operators, and architectures such as Fourier Neural Operators (FNOs) have shown algebraic convergence rates, a precise theoretical connection between the continuous theory and its discrete numerical implementation remains a challenge. Specifically, the relationship between the continuous formulation and the discrete numerical stability has yet to be fully explored. In this paper, we address this gap by establishing theoretical guarantees for the discretization error and stability of neural operator approximation schemes. We prove analytical bounds that link solution regularity to input discretization, providing a formal quantification of neural operator accuracy under real-world numerical constraints. We derive these bounds to the specific cases of State Space Model-based Neural Operators (SS-NOs) and FNOs, thus providing a new discretization error theorem for these models. Additionally, through an input-to-state stability (ISS) analysis, we formally assess the impact of discretization on the stability of SS-NOs results obtained in the continuous domain. Our empirical experiments on 1D and 2D benchmarks validate our theoretical bounds and show the robustness of SS-NOs under varying resolutions.

  We study recurrent neural networks (RNNs) trained by injecting noise into hidden states as discretizations of differential equations driven by input data. We find that, under reasonable assumptions, this implicit regularization promotes flatter minima; it biases towards models with more stable dynamics; and, in classification tasks, it favors models with larger classification margin. Our theory is supported by empirical results which demonstrate improved robustness with respect to various input perturbations, while maintaining state-of-the-art performance.

  We introduce a new stability measure called on-average model stability, for which we develop novel bounds controlled by the risks of SGD iterates. This yields generalization bounds depending on the behavior of the best model, and leads to the first-ever-known fast bounds in the low-noise setting. To our best knowledge, this gives the firstever-known stability and generalization for SGD with even non-differentiable loss functions.
