Abstract DeepONets have recently been proposed as a framework for learning nonlinear operators mapping between infinite-dimensional Banach spaces. We analyze and prove estimates on the resulting approximation generalization errors. In particular, we extend universal property of to include measurable mappings in non-compact By decomposition error into encoding, reconstruction errors, both lower upper bounds total error, relating it spectral decay properties covariance operators, associated...

Operator learning refers to the application of ideas from machine approximate (typically nonlinear) operators mapping between Banach spaces functions.

Neural operator architectures employ neural networks to approximate operators mapping between Banach spaces of functions; they may be used accelerate model evaluations via emulation, or discover models from data. Consequently, the methodology has received increasing attention over recent years, giving rise rapidly growing field learning.
