Within the framework of parameter dependent PDEs, we develop a constructive approach based on Deep Neural Networks for efficient approximation parameter-to-solution map. The research is motivated by limitations and drawbacks state-of-the-art algorithms, such as Reduced Basis method, when addressing problems that show slow decay in Kolmogorov n-width.

Recently, deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have proven to be successful when employed in areas such as reduced order modeling of parametrized PDEs. Despite their accuracy and efficiency, the approaches available literature still lack a rigorous justification on mathematical foundations. Motivated by this fact, paper we derive error bounds for approximation nonlinear operators means CNN models. More precisely, address case which an operator maps finite dimensional input μ∈Rp onto...

Many applications in computational physics involve approximating problems with microstructure, characterized by multiple spatial scales their data. However, these numerical solutions are often computationally expensive due to the need capture fine details at small scales. As a result, simulating such phenomena becomes unaffordable for many-query applications, as parametrized systems scale-dependent features. Traditional projection-based reduced order models (ROMs) fail resolve issues, even...

Mesh-based simulations play a key role when modeling complex physical systems that, in many disciplines across science and engineering, require the solution to parametrized time-dependent nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). In this context, full order models (FOMs), such as those relying on finite element method, can reach high levels of accuracy, however often yielding intensive run.

Within the framework of precision medicine, stratification individual genetic susceptibility based on inherited DNA variation has paramount relevance. However, one most relevant pitfalls traditional Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) approaches is their inability to model complex high-order non-linear SNP-SNP interactions and effect phenotype (e.g. epistasis). Indeed, they incur in a computational challenge as number possible grows exponentially with SNPs considered, affecting statistical...
