Error Analysis for Solving Elliptic Interface Problems with Randomized Neural Networks
Abstract
This paper presents a unified error analysis of randomized neural networks (RaNNs) for elliptic interface problems. We first derive an integral representation of Barron functions using the standard tanh activation, which yields a C2-approximation bound valid for any hidden-parameter distribution supported on a cube with strictly positive density. We then establish a quantitative πͺ(nβ1) generalization bound for the composite loss that enforces the partial differential equation, boundary, and interface conditions simultaneously, where n denotes the number of training samples. Combining these results with the optimization guarantees for RaNNs, we obtain an a priori L2 error estimate for the neural network solution in the presence of interface discontinuities. Numerical experiments are presented to validate the theoretical results.

AB - This paper presents a unified error analysis of randomized neural networks (RaNNs) for elliptic interface problems. We first derive an integral representation of Barron functions using the standard tanh activation, which yields a C^2-approximation bound valid for any hidden-parameter distribution supported on a cube with strictly positive density. We then establish a quantitative πͺ(n^β1) generalization bound for the composite loss that enforces the partial differential equation, boundary, and interface conditions simultaneously, where n denotes the number of training samples. Combining these results with the optimization guarantees for RaNNs, we obtain an a priori L^2 error estimate for the neural network solution in the presence of interface discontinuities.
